Description

160 DOWNLOADS?! thank you guys! xD -------- Just a hash algorithm that supports salting. A cookie if you can find out my password xD updated to version 0.4 fixed online bug :D (online/offline is still different, can't do anything about it :/) now salting o.o -------- Thanks technoboy10 fro curating this :) For not-technical users: Hashing, in computer science, means take a piece of information, and turn it into a piece of information, in a way that is not reversible. Why does it help? Imagine you have a site where users can login with passwords, and the passwords are stored on a database somewhere. If a cracker gets into the database he gets all passwords. In site B, they don't store passwords, but hashes of passwords. Each time a user logins, they hash the password he typed and compare it to the hash in the database. If a hacker gets into the database, all he has is hashes, and because the hash isn't reversible, he can't find the passwords out. I know this is confusing, but it's pretty important in web security :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function
