PHP Hash Generator - MD5, SHA1 etc..

2009-08-22

The Hash maker is a quick and easy way to either make hashes and use them directly or try to work out what your lost password was

I find it quite useful to be able to generate hashes for passwords directly for the purposes of resetting passwords directly in a database

md2 md4 md5 sha1 sha256 sha384 sha512 ripemd128 ripemd160 ripemd256 ripemd320 whirlpool tiger128,3 tiger160,3 tiger192,3 tiger128,4 tiger160,4 tiger192,4 snefru gost adler32 crc32 crc32b haval128,3 haval160,3 haval192,3 haval224,3 haval256,3 haval128,4 haval160,4 haval192,4 haval224,4 haval256,4 haval128,5 haval160,5 haval192,5 haval224,5 haval256,5

hash of: hashText using: haval256,5

length: 64 digits

PHP Hash example for login session:

1. if(isset($_POST["userInput"])){ 
2.    $userInput = strip_tags($_POST["userInput"]); 
3. }else{ 
4.    return; 
5. } 
6.  
7. if($hashFromDatabase == hash("haval256,5", $userInput)){ 
8.    $_SESSION["loggedIn"] = $userName; 
9. }
