Hello,

I am trying to understand how is the vb_login_md5password generated when logging in to forums. Because when you log in, the password is not send as a plain text, but it's decoded somewhere in js, and I got stuck on this one. If someone could explain it to me, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Uhhh
The password is never sent as plain text. Soon as it is submitted, it is converted to a md5.

I think.

When you submit the login form it calls the function md5hash (via the forms 'onsubmit' attribute).

md5hash is the javascript function that converts the password, and is contained in vbulletin_md5.js
