I think I do not really understand your problem... searching for
standard crypt algorithms? google, wikipedia and such should help.
I solved the problem myself, which basically meant there was no way
to determine what the algorithm was except for a no-salt MD5.
For example:
Here's the password: froggy123
Here's the encoded string: a2667f2ace21c54ed03a35cf946e347a
If you checked the the two, you could discover that the algorithm was
MD5 without a salt.
If the encoding was something else, then a different algorithm was
used and most likely you could not tell what algorithm was used
unless you knew the salt value.
For example, if the salt was "hello" and the encoding was
heWf00Lr.jHb6 , then the algorithm could be Crypt, Standard DES or
MD5. Understand now?
In any event, thanks for trying.
Cheers,
tedd
