Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- Please, please, please, please don't use the example by "Anonymous, 08-Jun-2010 08:36". It is extremely ill constructed. The first (32 - password length) bytes will always be identical, thus making this incredibly prone to collisions. The value constructed from SALT_TWO will never be used at all. This is just wrong in so many ways. Salt the password BEFORE doing the hash. Use a different random salt for each password, and store it with the password.
