| Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net. |

 Passwords (how do they work)
Hello
I was wondering whether anybody around here knows How a Password works in a Free E-Mail Service? and How do they manage to store so many passwords?
They say that there is some Algorithm to verify each and every Password. Is it true?
Is it easy to break into the Algorithm and get the Password?
Would like to know more about it
Regards
The Crow

Re: Passwords (how do they work)
To put it simply...
Every password is stored in a HASH. The hash is made by taking the password, and putting thru an algorythm. You get a HASH. Hashes are good, because they cant be reverse-engineered to get a password out of.
When it goes to check your password, it takes what you enter in the password box, puts it thru the same algorythm, and makes a hash out of it. It then compares this hash with the original hash. If they match, the password is correct, and it lets you thru. If they dont match, the password is incorrect.
Pretty much, you're looking at finding and getting the original hashes, and attacking them until you find the password.
...to put it simply.
