View 8 RepliesI'm trying to write a program right now for my computer science class for a program where you insert text into a text box, (the text being a password), and then click a submit button. The goal of the assignment is to have a program that looks at the user given password and see if it matches the const password (or one of the three const passwords in my case). If it doesn't, it is supposed to loop back so you can re-input the password. Also, If you enter the correct password, the loop ends and you are to get a msgbox (or, in my case three different ones), and then the application closes. We are to write the code so that if the password is wrong "x" (insert 3 as the number I have chosen), a MsgBox will pop up with a message saying
something along the lines of "you have gotten the password wrong to many times.", and then the application is supposed to close. I don't think I could rant on much more, I've done a good (or in my eyes terrible) job of summarizing the assignment.
[Code]...
My problem (aside from, I don't know, a problem with my code itself) is that when It reaches the loop, it goes through all the code again, but I'm unable to change the user given password, and so it just pops up the three failed password entry MsgBoxes (the code for which is temporarily removed), then the failed to many times MsgBox, OR one of the successful message boxes. What I'm wondering is if anyone can help me fix my code so that it functions as desired.
I am using VB.NET 2010. I have a Windows 2008 Web Server, where about 80 user accounts are activated. It is NO Active Directory Environment!!! This is a server, where Windows SharePoint Services are hosted. So, once a year, I have to give all users a new password. (I have to give it, because of some security thinkings of the owner of this Page). So, changing the password for each person is a very long activity. How can I do this by a VB.NET Program? - When I am logged on as an Administrator to this server?
View 15 RepliesThe following webpage talks about using impersonation in code (ASP.NET)[url]... I am thinking about creating a class for the code, then the application can call impersonateValidUser and undoimpersonation.
I am concerned about putting usernames and passwords in my code as surely anyone will be able to see them using a tool like ILDASM. What is the best way to hide these passwords?
The article has a section titled: Impersonate the IIS Authenticated Account or User. I thought about creating an impersonated user in the Web.Config, but this would mean that the entire application is run as the inpersonated user. I only want a very small part of the application to run as the impersonated user - when it is necesary to access and update active directory.
How to do this: I have a webbrowser on a normal form with a listbox undernieth it. I would like the program to get the passwords from IE or FIREFOX so then I could import them into my webbrowser.
View 5 RepliesI recently made a small app for a friend and then made it a public app, in doing so I forgot that it connects to my MS SQL DB and checks for values. Someone used Red Gate .Net Reflector to get my password and destroy it all. I've contacted their ISP and they are looking into it, apparently this person has a static ip with them.So this is a lesson learned at a heavy price for me. How can I prevent this from happening again? How can I get away from the unsafe connection string they were able to use?
View 5 RepliesYesterday night a friend did ask me what encrypting i normally use for my login passwords on the programs i make.Wel my answer = NO Encryption cause most of programs i write with a login on it as protection is only for local use.But still lately iam starting to get more intrested to make programs that are using external databases like MySql.So my Question is how to put sh1 encryption on a password.i need this in 2 ways 1. how to use it when i register a password to a database.2. how to use it when i read the password out of the database.( i dont need to know how to make a connection to mysql or etc. just the info to encrypt.)
View 1 RepliesCan someone tell me how Active Directory stores it's passwords for users? Is it like this answer : storing passwords in SQL Server Is it a hash and a salt or multiple hashes?
EDIT I ask because I want to mimic the way they store them for a custom authorization application I want to build. Or if someone can offer a existing framework or class that handles user authorization for a web application. If I can use asp.net membership for multiple applications using web service that would be even better.
I have a scenario that has been troubling me for years. If you have to connect to a database or other service (like a web service) using a username and password, where would be the safest place to store this information if you are connecting through a .NET assembly? I understand that you would have to encrypt the password, but then you run into a kind of chicken-egg problem -- fine -- you can encrypt it, but then where do you put the key?In .NET, you can't hardcode the password because you can decompile .NET code.
I looked at using assembly based rights with Isolated Storage, but MS recommends against storing unencrypted secret items there because priveledged users can gain access, so again, we are moving the problem from point A to point B. So for examplem, a domain admin with no need to know about the information in a database would be able to get access because of the ability to be an admin on any workstation on the domain.You can encrypt App.Config and Web.Config, but I believe priveledges users can access the keys. I think you run into the same problem with DPAPI.
I had considered storing the passwords, encrypted in a remoted database and getting them through OS authentication, but our department prohibits the storage of passwords on database servers. I am pretty sure I am stuck and wanted confirmation.
i'm oding a project which involves using a log in form, from which the username and passwords are compared to. However, at the moment, my code works, but not case sensitively!
Private Sub btnLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLogin.Click
Dim sql = "SELECT Username,Password FROM login WHERE Username = '" &

I am building a small office application that requires users to log in dont need encryption or other sophisticated aproaches. all i need is an array of passwords that users can log in.
So If passtext.text= "test" or "test1" or test2" then

What's the simplest way to upgrade a VB.NET site to using encrypted passwords? Are there easy to use encryption algorithms built in to System.UI?My site is using plain text password storage, and it will soon be going to a public server at godaddy from a private one on the local network. I'm going to have to start adding in encryption algorithms to all the password parsing functions, and it would be nice if I could just set a SALT key in the web.config file and Encrypt(password) or something like that.
View 2 RepliesI need to write a program allowing the user to enter up to five passwords at one time. I have the textboxes set the way I need. When the user presses the button, the code should check every password they ve entered, and flag any passwords that are invalid. A valid password includes the following:
At least 6 and not more than 15 characters
At least one uppercase alpha character
At least one lowercase alpha character
At least one numeric character
I'm a little confused about how to check each character of the entered passwords for these conditions.Because it must include alpha characters, I believe I have to do something with ASC and CHAR variables. This is my first post and I need to have this done within a few hours, haha. Help would be awesome.
I am using vb.net (visual studio 2010) and have made a form application that uses a login screen. All that works but I am having trouble any firm way to encrypt the passwords in the database. The encryption doesn't have to be very high standard as its just for a college project. Whats the best way to encrypt the password into the database? Or just encrypt the password string, I can then sort out the database end myself.

I want for the local intranet user with limited rights to be able to update Active Directory from his own limited account. For this, we created a separate Windows account as an intermediary, which has appropriate Domain Admin permissions. Now we want to use these credentials (account name, password) in the client program (a Windows Forms application) the user will work with to update Active Directory.
The problem is... it seems DirectoryEntry object in .NET 2.0 only accepts plain passwords. Hashed passwords (I tested MD5) don't work.
Is there a way to configure DirectoryEntry so that it would work with hashed ones? Something to do with authentication types?
Below is my sample code that works with plain passwords but rejects hashed:- - -
Dim Entry As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry(ActiveDirectoryServer, sUserName, sHashedPasswordUsingMD5)
Dim Searcher As New DirectorySearcher(Entry)

View 3 RepliesI an new to visual basic and I was following a tutorial to make this keylogger for my computer to record all my passwords and things entered but i get a Warning1Variable 'key' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.

Then the null error occurs.
Basically i am trying to create a programme, which needs to have some authorisation.
When the application starts up, it starts straight into the login screen.
I want the Username and Password textboxes to read the database and if they match then progress to the next form but if they dont match then a message box will appear.
I also want to create groups of people so if a certain group of people log in they go to a certain form and if the another group of people log in i want them to go to a different form.
Also i want the password box to be * instead of visable text.

View 9 RepliesFirst of all, using VB 2008.I'm writing my first VB program that will actually do anything, so I am about as noob as noob can get. I'll try to keep my question as simple as possible.
My program will have a password protected screen, but rather than "hard-coding" a password into the program, I'd like to give the user the option of changing the password to whatever he'd like. Obviously, without hardcoding the password into the program, this value would need to be stored somewhere outside the program in order for it to be available the next time the program is executed.
I know that the Windows registry is a place to save data like that, but are there other places (certain types of files, etc.) where this data is typically stored? I'm writing this program for work, and I'm not sure that my IT department will look favorably upon me messing around with the registry.
i'm asking a lot of question here, because i have finally found a real helpful place to ask,and i have a lot of questions, anyways i made a login system in which i used an access database, everything is working fine, I Added a TableAdapter and made a query with users and there passwords, this is the code i used:
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
I've been working with VB6, 2003, 2005 and 2010 and I've always hardcoded my database passwords. Recently we ran into a problem where we would like to change all our db passwords for audit purposes. The problem is passwords for different dbs have been hardcoded in all our programs. How can I create programs going forward without hard coding the passwords in? I think I should be using a config file of some sort, but not sure how or where to start.
