The code below allows a user to enter user name and password to log in to enter marks of students. SQL data reader verifies the user credentials from the database before authentication takes place. modify the code by salting and hashing the password.

i really need this working, all works but nothing is encrypted
Im a final year student for COmputer Security / Forensic. Im planning to do a project which requires me to do encryption and decryption. My possible choice of language would be VB.Net. I was wondering if wad is running in my mind can be executed. Well, I would make a application where a part of it wil be promting the guest to register and I wanted to store the password in the database. I did some research and came across Salting and Hashing. I was wondering if is it possible to get the password which the user enters, salt it, hash it and encrypt it before I store in the database. If so, what is the best secured strong encryption can I use in VB.net. Because through out the research I have done, i have sen RInjdael as the most fav encryption algo which alot of programmers using.

VS2010 (SP1) / .NET 4 on Windows XP. The question is simple, the answer; not so much. When generating a salt, should the LENGTH of the salt be random, fixed or a random number within a (min/max) range? I am using RNGCryptoServiceProvider to generate the salt, just unsure of the length of the salt.

I have a register.aspx and a login function and i am using vb.net
in my register.aspx...i have a user name textbox and a password text and a submit button. IF the user click on the submit button, the password will be hash and store with the username in the database table called "Customer"
1st Qn: i have a problem is that i never try before hashing, so i not sure how to code it , hopefully if someone got a sample or example to teach me it will be nice
2nd Qn: besides that, in my login function, how am i going to compare the hash value for password that is store in database with the password in the textbox to allow to login?

Username: Ranjith

I'm trying to create a password change form for my company's vendors. There are a couple of scenarios I could encounter doing this:
1 - User enters invalid current password
2 - New passwords do not match
3 - User's account is locked
4 - User cannot authenticate because password is expired
It's case 4 that I'm struggling with, because their is no way for me to take the password the user entered and verify it against active directory without getting an error.
I am implementing a system where the user can Reset their password if they have forgotten it.Once it is reset I want to give them the option of changing the password so that it will be something more memorable to them.The password is hashed and if i enter in the correct old password and new password the password does change.If I enter in the wrong old password and new password the password doesnt change.Is there a way to match the old password with the old password field in code behind so I can throw up an error to the user to tell them what is wrong?

I can change the PasswordChar property to an asterisk no problem and even copying and pasting symbols inserted into Word seemed to work - just couldn't find a symbol that looked like a bullet point!
Can this actually be achieved for a standalone exe, or is it something unique to web forms? Surely copying and pasting symbols from Word isn't actually the answer?

View 10 RepliesI am at a bit of a loss at the moment. What I am basically writing is the password elements of a membership system. What I do is generate a random salt value, take the registered password, combine the two and then pass the new string through a function which will generate a SHAManaged 512 hash.
I then convert the hash and salt string into Byte arrays and store these in my database.The problem comes when I then compare a login attempt against the original value I am being supplied with a completely different hash for the password being presented by the user, even though it should be exactly the same.
Here is my code when someone registers their new account:

The garbage collector in .NET moves objects, so the object's address is not stable. How is Object's GetHashCode() method implemented?
I have an openfiledialog, I show the dialog and the user selects there file. How could I calculate the MD5 hash of the OFD.filename/file opened? Or calculate the SHA1, what ever is easiest.
PS: This is in Visual basic 2010 Express.
I know MD5 hashes have been asked about 1000+ times, but this question is slightly different.I am looking to find the true MD5 hash of an image, but without using a string for the file's location. I am looking to be able to call on the image inside of a picturebox rather than somewhere on my computer or the internet.
For example, I want to find the MD5 hash of an image inside of my picturebox.
If this doesn't make sense, please ask any questions you may have.
I have a page with a URL that includes a hash value (www.mysite.com/#123).What I want to do is use that value to determine what is displayed on the page - much like using a querystring.I am using the hash value because the content on the page can be changed client side (I am avoiding page reloads where possible) - if the user then links to another page and uses the back button to return, I need to use the hash value to display the page as it was when they left it.So I'm looking for an if statement that will look something like this:

I would like to write a function GetHashCodeOfList() which returns a hashcode of a list of strings regardless of order. Given 2 lists with the same strings should return the same hashcode.
ArrayList list1 = new ArrayList()
list1.Add("String1");
list1.Add("String2");
[Code].....
I can first sort the list, then combine the sorted list into 1 long string and then call GetHashCode(). However sorting is a slow operation. I can get the hash of each individual string (by calling string.GetHashCode()) in the list, then multiplying all hashes and calling Mod UInt32.MaxValue. For Example: "String1".GetHashCode() * "String2".GetHashCode * ... MOD UInt32.MaxValue. But this results in a number overflow.
I'm trying to figure out a way to compare two "salted-hash" strings. How can I do this? I know that the salt is a random generated value that's appended to the plain text, then we just compute the hash of that new string.So how can I compare these two values?

I am having issues to hash with sha 1 salted in vb. I have an SMF forum and it uses SHA 1 salted to encrypt its passwords. I want to make a program which is only available to users who have registered in my forum so I have to create a login system in my program. The problem is that how do I hash to SHA 1 salted in vb?I have explained what I want to do a bit more in details below:User opens program >They login using their forum account details >Program hashes the PASSWORD the user has entered to SHA 1 salted >The program then connects with the forum's database and compares the password value > (The Username is checked first tho)
View 4 RepliesI am porting over some code from .net (vb) to php and I came across some md5 hashing that I can't reproduce in php. In the .net one there are two functions one uses UTF-8 encoding and the other uses Unicode encoding. The output is a different hash when passed in a string
// First function (returns GUID)
Dim oHasher As Cryptography.MD5 = Cryptography.MD5.Create()
Dim oEncoder As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding()
Dim csData() As Byte
