This is in interesting problem, one that as a group we may be able to identify better. If everyone runs the following code and posts their results (with .Net version, OS and 32 / 64 bit), we might be able to track it down: String password = "passwordabc123987"; System.Security.Cryptography.MD5 md5 = new System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider(); Byte[] result = md5.ComputeHash (System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password)); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); for (int i = 0; i < result.Length; i++) { sb.Append(result[i].ToString("X2")); } Console.WriteLine("Encoded Hash: " + sb.ToString()); My results (.Net 2.0, Windows server 2003 32-bit) 9E2A13BC30EF95CC7798D698E62BECD9 On 20 Nov, 20:30, rhaazy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greetings. > > I have a client who has a web service that I need to authenticate > with. > He sent me credentials for testing, which I currently have hardcoded. > The password he sent me is the md5 encrypted string. > When I try to create the same string using what should be the original > password I get a different md5 hash. > > I had a coworker run the same code I am using against the same > original string and he gets a different hash as well. > > This leads me to believe that there is some kind of a key being used. > > I have done some research but have only found pieces of information. > > From what I have gathered each machine has a machine key which I need > to store in my config file. > > So I ask if someone could verify my thoughts, and also perhaps point > me in the correct direction so that I could report back to my client > (who is a developer) about what he needs to provide me for me to > correctly hash the password.
