Note Submitter: laurent at hotmail dot com ---- The documentation is not really clear for me. Let's take the MD5 algorithm: MD5 hashing with a twelve character salt starting with $1$ 12 characters - 3 characters = 9 characters. Does it count a '$' character at the end of the salt? (like in the example) Must be the '$' character added to the end of the salt? Is it required or extra? For example: What is the correct string I need to generate for a correct salt for MD5: "12345678" "12345678$" "123456789" <- for me that this one which is correct "123456789$"
