note 45350 added to function.crypt

Here's a little function I wrote to generate MD5 password hashes in the format they're found in /etc/shadow: function shadow($password) { $hash = ''; for($i=0;$i<8;$i++) { $j = mt_rand(0,53); if($j<26)$hash .= chr(rand(65,90)); else if($j<52)$hash .= chr(rand(97,122)); else if($j<53)$hash .= '.'; else $hash .= '/'; } return crypt($password,'$1$'.$hash.'$'); } I've written this so that each character in the a-zA-Z./ set has a 1/54 of a chance of being selected (26 + 26 + 2 = 54), thus being statistically even. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45350 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45350&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45350&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
