I have a client who wants me to use the usernames/passwords in an
existing database as the authentication for a new web application (so
that he doesn't have to make users enter the info into 2 places). The
problem is that the passwords in the existing database are encrypted,
and since I don't know how they were encrypted, I can't figure out
how to write a compare method.
Looks like some kind of byte codes; when we enter new passwords, here
are some examples of how they are saved:
a == 0xFB
b == 0xFC
aaa = 0xFBFFF9
q == 0x0C
Can anyone start me in the right direction to try to figure out how
it's being done?
Thank you for any ideas,
steve
