I believe they md5(), add the salt, and then md5() again.
Wow I thought they just did md5 salt.
That's a lotta encryption.

I run sites powered by vbulletin and one about the HTC Jetstream.
Its not encryption...
Depends on your definition, and this would fall well within most general ones (obfuscation of information so that it's not easily readable without special knowledge). Hashing like this just happens to be one-way encryption.Originally Posted by logic_earth

Vbulletin uses somethin like this:
md5(md5('pass').string)
where the string is a random of 3 characters
maybe i dont remember exactly how it does the encryptation but is something like that
Hashing is indeed encryption, just a form of encryption called "one-way encryption". As opposed to "two-way encryption" which you see in e.g. AES, Blowfish, PGP/GPG, and countless others.
And Dunkel has it exactly right. I believe the salt is stored in the database on a per-used basis, but yes, that's exactly what vBulletin (needlessly) uses.
yes brosther .. that's rightI believe they md5(), add the salt, and then md5() again.
thanks alot
