right i know this and i have some ideas what data is being hashed but i cannot figure out how to limit a hash to only 20 chars. most of the hashing i've even done has been in md5 sha1 etc and this is obviously not that.
I know this is a long shot but i was hoping that the 20 char limit might ring a bell to someone. jonese On 4/11/06, Dave Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm trying to reverse engineer a hash ... > > The whole point of a hash algorithm is that it should not be susceptible to > reverse-engineering.
