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?
From http://www.php.net/crypt :
CRYPT_BLOWFISH - Blowfish encryption with a sixteen character salt
starting with $2$
Could that be the one?
Do you have the mcrypt module installed? I wonder if one of those
methods is being used.
