Adapting the Password Encryption

Post by Payou »

Hello.

I'm currently creating a project that is a GTA San Andreas : MultiPlayer (SA:MP) server. To do this I use PHP BB 3.3.5 and I want to link the accounts from the forum with the accounts from the game server. Indeed I want to protect the users from any form of hacking that's why my goal today is to find out how are the passwords encrypted in PHP BB.

When a user logs on the game, they have to type their password in. Server-side, if I want to check if the password is good, I can't check it in clear so I need to encrypt it, just like the forum does, and then just compare the 2 strings. The thing is I tried to find the phpbb_hash() function in my "includes/function.php" but looking for it returns nothing.

Here's what I want to do : Find the function and try to implement it in my SA:MP server OR Change the password encryption in PHP BB and use something far more easy to add in SA:MP, the whirlpool hash method.

I hope some of you can enlighten me about my concern.
Thanks in advance!

P.S. : I'm French so I'm sorry if some of my sentences sounds odd :mrgreen:
