Look at the characters, how many are there? 32. What does this look like? A hash. What base are the characters representing? 16. How many bits does this hash represent? 32*4 = 128 (because a base 16 digit represnts 4 binary digits). What hash functions produce a hash of 128 bytes?
I leave it to you to find out more information about hash functions. -b > From: Justin Chang <ktriv3di () msn com> > Date: Sat, 29 May 2010 02:22:19 +0000 > > What are the encoded_pw and encoded_pw_unicode cookies in blackboard?
