Something on dupeip.php

[Preech]

Since this doesnt have anything to do with hacking....

on the dupeip.php where it shows the users password all encoded-like

is there any way to decipher that? I had a guy who lost his password and he wanted me to just get it for him and i couldn't i didn't know if there was a way to do so...

[N9ne]

No. All he has to do is get his pass reset and emailed to him, or you can change his password from the AdminCP and tell him his new password. md5 technology is used to hash passwords in vBulletin, and it will take months and lots of CPU power to crack just one hash...

hash algorithms are not reversable, it's mathmatically impossible

Yes, for you, for maths geniuses like me, it's not a problem.

"1 plus 1 equals... 2!!!"

LoL Erwin...funny

[Xenon]

*ggg* Erwin i doubt anyone would use +1 as a hash algorithm

But you're right, i wasn't exactly enough:
good hash algorithms are not reversable

I thought anything done in math is reversable if you know how to do it....

[colicab-d]

yeah but if something insane like a super computer has generated it then god help a home pc...

i think it takes like 2weeks high cpu usage ona 2ghz p4 to decifer a 5 letter md5 password, or so scott was saying..

[N9ne]

and vBulletin uses, what, 16 bit strings for md5?

@Oricon:

PHP Code:

$x=2;
$y=2;
echo $x+$y; 


this will output 4, but if you just hav the 4 you cant say what x and y have been, 1+3 is also 4
