So I have been using this login and register script for about 3 projects and it worked great. But for the current project its creating certain problems. The generated password doesnt match with the one in the DB and hence couldnt login.
The register page is given below
<?phpinclude_once 'includes/register.inc.php';include_once 'includes/functions.php';?><html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Secure Login: Registration Form</title> <script type="text/JavaScript" src="js/sha512.js"></script> <script type="text/JavaScript" src="js/forms.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css" /> </head> <body> <?php if (!empty($error_msg)) { echo $error_msg; } ?> <form action="<?php echo esc_url($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>" method="post" name="registration_form"> Username: <input type='text' name='username' id='username' /><br> Email: <input type="text" name="email" id="email" /><br> Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password"/><br> Confirm password: <input type="password" name="confirmpwd" id="confirmpwd" /><br> <input type="button" value="Register" onclick="return regformhash(this.form, this.form.username, this.form.email, this.form.password, this.form.confirmpwd);" /> </form> <p>Return to the <a href="index.php">login page</a>.</p> </body></html>register.inc.php Page given below

Is it because license_num is not Auto Increment?
Thanks if you could help out
I'm trying to mimic the creation of password strings as they appear in /etc/shadow.
This is what I've got so far, but the encrypted passwords don't match, when I use the same password and the same salt.
5000 rounds is standard for crypt, so I used that as well, but I don't see where exacly I made a mistake:
I'm doing this in Perl, this is the relevant porion:
($pass, $salt) = @ARGV;unless(defined($salt)) { $salt = MIME::Base64::encode(random_bytes(12), '');}for $i (1 .. 4999) { $pass = Digest::SHA::sha512($salt, $pass);}say "";print '$6$', $salt, '$', Digest::SHA::sha512_base64($salt, $pass), "\$\n";I'm trying to make a python function and a nodejs function compute the same hash. However, it seems like the binary that is outputted is different between nodejs crypto and python hashlib.
The python I'm using is:
hash = hashlib.sha512()hash.update(salt)hash.update(password.encode('utf8'))hash.digest()The node/coffeescript is:
crypto.createHash('sha512').update(salt, 'binary').update(password, 'utf8').digest()These lines should produce the same result, but for some reason they don't. Help?
So I'm developing a website using php, mysql and javascript, and also 'sha512' to encrypt passwords of members using the code :
$password = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'p', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);$random_salt = hash('sha512', uniqid(mt_rand(1, mt_getrandmax()), true));$password = hash('sha512', $password . $random_salt);the p value is comming from :
function formhash(form) { var password = randomString(); var p = document.createElement("input"); form.appendChild(p); p.name = "p"; p.type = "hidden"; p.value = hex_sha512(password.value); password.value = ""; form.submit();} function randomString() { var text = ""; var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"; for( var i=0; i < 9; i++ ) text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length)); return text;}My idea here is to reset user password by entering their email and generate random 8 characters then send it directly to their email.The problem I'm facing now is how to get the actual password (not encrypted) that has been generated so it can be automatically sent to the email of the member who requested to reset their password?
This question already has an answer here:
$pass="test"the above variable contains a password called test.I want to hash this password using sha512 md5 and salt how do i do that as ive found only benifits of salt and sha512,i allready know md5 encryption.please i need the solution as my system is vunerable
and please explain it with a code example because im still attached to md5
from what ive understood by your comments and answers ive got the following code
$pass="test";$hashed_pass= openssl_digest($pass, 'sha512');ok seems solid enough but what is [salt='']?does it generate a random salt string or something if so the how to implement it?
