}Usage
MD5("whatever");Like possibly snagging a Gravatar.
Would it be a good or a bad idea to replace a password in a login form on submit to the md5 string instead of the actually password?
I would figure it would create added security… Please correct me if I’m wrong..
I don’t think so. If the user has JavaScript disabled the password will still be sent in plain text and there is no way for the server to know if it was passed an md5 encrypted string or the users password.
Yes, that’s a good idea.
@Johnathan Barett:
But the server could try both possibilities ;)
(in PHP “$correct = $_GET["pwd"] == $password || md5($_GET["pwd"]) == $password;”)
Why not just use the md5() mysql function?
Because he’s not using MySQL. I’m going to assume you mean the PHP MD5 function. The problem with this is how do you take a JavaScript input and run it through a PHP function? LIke grabbing a Gravatar, user types in email address, how do you pass that value to a PHP function without loading another page in the background to send the result back.
No I’m talking about the md5 MySQL function, which there is an equivalent function for SQL Server, or whatever database manager your using. If your encrypting passwords, I assume your storing in a database.
I know exactly what you’re talking about, but it’s not about storing information, it’s about sending information through the browser.
hey thanks guys for sharing this invaluable script.
@Johnathan Barrett: There in fact a way for the server to know whether JavaScript was enabled or not in the client’s browser.
To do so, add a hidden field named “hasjavascript” to your form with a default value of “false” and, with JavaScript, simply set the value of this field to “true”.
Then, in the server-side code, checks for the value of the GET variable “hasjavascript”.
Hashing the password with JavaScript’s only effect is that, if someone gets the submitted values, they won’t be able to know the plain-text one and will (hopefully) not be able to login with this password on other website.
Note that he will still be able to login on your website by simply submitting the intercepted hashed password, as the browser would do.
To prevent that, you would have to use an asymmetric encryption algorithm like RSA.
Read more on this on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography
I’ve used this for websites where the client doesn’t want https (they’re crazy, I know). What I do is use challenge-authentication (Actually I stole it from Yahoo! mail :P ). It’s simple:
1) Generate a random “salt” (generate a random string) and store it in the session. Send it to the browser.
2) In the client, concatenate the salt and the password, and md5 it. send the result. Also send the salt.
3) In the server, check if the salt is the same, and if md5(salt . password) match. If not, generate a NEW salt and repeat.
If you need to encrypt the password on the server, do the same thing but instead of comparing the password, compare the encrypted password (obviously you need to replicate the database-pw-encryption process in the browser).
Still, that’s not match for an HTTPS connection.
As for detecting whether the client has javascript enabled, simply make the form unsubmittable unless the client has js enabled. Use something like action=”javascript:;” and then use onsubmit for the real submission (you’d need to make an invisible form).
great script
