note 103338 added to function.crypt

Here is what I use to generate secure passwords. Based on what kaminski offered: <?php $salt = '$2a$10$'.substr(str_replace('+', '.', base64_encode(pack('N4', mt_rand(), mt_rand(), mt_rand(), mt_rand()))), 0, 22) . '$'; $hashed_password = crypt($password, $salt); ?> This thing uses Blowfish algorithm. It takes 0.12 seconds on my server to generate this password, making brute-force attack really ineffective. You may play with that "cost" value, changing it from 10 to something. Incrementing this value by 1 roughly doubles calculation time. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 98.224.239.142 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103338 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103338/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103338/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103338/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103338/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103338/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103338/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103338 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103338 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
