I have implemented a function that calculates the hash value of important system processes. I have a question that if new memory pages are created in the memory space of certain system processes wont their hash value change. Cuz the previously calculated hash values and after the memory pages are created are exactly the same.
View 12 RepliesI'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? O_O (The new hash that the user hash written in a textbox and the hash stored in a database)
View 9 RepliesI have some problems with the SHA1 hash value of a string. I'm trying to send a file from a client written in VB.net to a server written in PHP. My problem is that when I pass the same string to VB.net and PHP, the SHA1 value calculated by VB.net is completely different from the value calculated by PHP.
For example, I want to encode a string in Base64 and then calculate the SHA1 Hash of the Base64 string. When the computer executes this task from the vb.net version and from the PHP version I get two different SHA1 values, even if apparently the Base64 encoded string is the same:
VB.net: 2E97A53B09C482A831540B532845BCAC79BFACCF
PHP: 350A2080264E2724D4BCBC521C35264D264A1DAF
I'm surely missing something, could you point me in the right direction and tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

I am writing a program that and like to implement data verification system. It needs to return a unique string for any value entered. My question boils down to: is it possible for an AES function to return the same value for two different entries? The source values will becoming from data held on a magnetic stripe card.

I posted this through my phone originally, and I am now just getting back to this post.
I've been looking around the web and while reading Wikipedia's article on SHA, I see that SHA-2 (SHA-256/224, SHA-512/384) have no detected collisions (assuming the article is accurate/up-to-date). This is desirable. Any recommendations on what version of SHA-2 I should use?
I'm using a MySQL connector in VB .Net to execute a batch of SQL inserts. This is typically on the order of 5k statements and takes around 30 minutes to process. Unfortunately, when this process is running and I use a different application on the system, upon returning to the .net app it hangs and shows "not responding". In fact, as soon as I click anywhere else in the application (move to a different tab, for example) everything locks up.
Dim transaction As MySqlTransaction = sqlConnection.BeginTransaction()
For Each sqlCmd In (sqlCmdsCollection)
sqlCommand = New MySqlCommand(sqlCmd, sqlConnection)

i would like to scan all the processes(aplications) running in a system before starting my program. and also need to close some programs before starting my program.how to read all the processes ruining in a system one by one.
View 1 RepliesI am making a function of an application that when a function is called the application will close all processes that are owned by the user and were started after a specific point. My thoughts on this would be to trigger an event in my application every time a process is started and ended, and only if the processes is owned by the user, the event should get information (e.g. the process ID, name, etc) about that process and add or remove that information to/from an array depending on if the process starts or ends. Then when a function is called end all the processes in that array.

I'm working on a project that's going to be deployed via .NET on Windows and via Mono on Linux; the same data needs to be exchangeable between the platforms, including where platform A is Little-Endian and platform B is Big-Endian.Where text is concerned, I know ASCII/Unicode is natively Big-Endian, so there's no problem with that.Where numbers are concerned, I know that byte arrays have to be reversed on Big-Endian platforms to store the data in Little-Endian format.But what exactly is the 64 bit value output from System. Date Time.ToBinary?Is this a number representing the number of seconds elapsed since Jan 1 1970, is this some kind of serialized attribute that outputs some DotNET-recognizable value, or what?Does this byte array need to be handled differently in Big and Little Endian environments?It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.
View 7 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.

View 1 RepliesI'm populating a custom dropdown list control on the fly that's tied to data grid using VB .NET 2008. The form will display all the manufactures when the edit button on the data grid is selected.
The dropdown I created works fine. However, when I try to populate the drop down with the respected manufacture values from the database, I only get a value of "System.Data.DataRowView" that being populated in the dropdown list as opposed to my values from the database.
Here's the basic code I use to first create and populate the drop down control:

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've created a log in system using a database and query builder to return the correct values, however, once the users signed in I need to bring up the rest of their data from the same table in the database. How'd be the best way of going about this? I'm not sure whether the log in should be changed to use the primary key as well.

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.

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 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

Dim oHasher As Cryptography.MD5 = Cryptography.MD5.Create()

I was asked by an employer to sort a hash table. I always thought that the usage of a hash table was in a way non-sort friendly. Am I wrong in thinking this, and if not can you point me to a good VB.Net(Yes Kill me now, but it's an old system) method of sorting a hash table.
