I've inherited this website and there is an application that is
running on it that has a bunch of passwords stored in a mysql table.
The problem is, the previous webmaster didn't leave me any
instructions on how they encrypted those passwords. I don't need to
figure out what the old passwords were, I just need to be able to
generate my own (until such time as I can rebuild this portion of the
website).
The passwords are called in the application by:
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']
The passwords appear to be 16 character strings that predominately
have numbers in them (rather than letters) and don't appear to have
any punctuation (although it could be just the few I am looking at
that don't).
Is there any way to tell how these passwords were encrypted?
