crc32
Password hashing should be done only with crypt and NEVER with SHA* and MD5 or hash(). The fundamental reason is that crypt is designed to be SLOW which is a VERY good thing for password hashing.
It also automatically generate a salt every time which makes pre-computed tables to "decrypt" passwords useless (the generated salt is stored in the returned string for convenience).
crypt
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
crypt — Encriptação unidirecional de string (hashing)
Descrição
string crypt
( string $str
[, string $salt
] )
crypt() retornará uma string criptografada usando o algoritmo de encriptação Unix Standard DES-based ou ou algoritmos alternativos disponíveis no sistema.
Alguns SO suportam mais de um tipo de codificação. De fato, algumas vezes a codificação Standard DES-based é substituído por MD5-based . O tipo de codificação é definido pelo argumento salt. Na instalação, o PHP determina as possíveis funções de codificação e aceitará salts para outros tipos. Se nenhum salt é fornecido, o PHP auto-gera um salt padrão de 2 caracateres por definição, a menos que o tipo de codificação padrão do sistema seja MD5, nesse caso um salt MD5-compatible aleatório será gerado. O PHP define uma constante com nome CRYPT_SALT_LENGTH que dirá se um salt de 2 caracteres aplica-se ao seu sistema ou se o salt mais comprido de 12 caracteres é aplicável.
O Standard DES-based crypt() retorna o salt como o primeiro two characters da saída. Ele também usa apenas os oito primeiros caracteres da str, então strings longas que começam com os mesmos oito caracteres gerarão o mesmo resultado (quando o mesmo salt é usado).
Em sistemas onde a função crypt() suporta variados tipos de codificação, as seguintes funções são definidas para 0 ou 1 a depender se um dado tipo está disponível:
- CRYPT_STD_DES - Codificação Standard DES-based com um salt de 2 caracteres
- CRYPT_EXT_DES - Codificação Extended DES-based com um salt de 9 caracateres
- CRYPT_MD5 - Codificação MD5 com um salt de 12 caracteres começando com $1$
- CRYPT_BLOWFISH - Codificação Blowfish com um salt de 16 caracteres começando com $2$
Parâmetros
- str
-
A string a ser encriptada.
- salt
-
Uma opcional string de salt para base da encriptação. Se não fornecido, será gerado randomicamente pelo PHP cada vez que chamar esta função.
Se você está usando um salt fornecido, você está ciente que o salt é gerado uma vez. Se você está chamando essa função repetidamente, isto pode afetar a aparência e a segurança.
Valor Retornado
Retorna a string encriptada.
Exemplos
Exemplo #1 Exemplos da crypt()
<?php
$password = crypt('mypassword'); // let the salt be automatically generated
/* You should pass the entire results of crypt() as the salt for comparing a
password, to avoid problems when different hashing algorithms are used. (As
it says above, standard DES-based password hashing uses a 2-character salt,
but MD5-based hashing uses 12.) */
if (crypt($user_input, $password) == $password) {
echo "Password verified!";
}
?>
Exemplo #2 Usando crypt() com htpasswd
<?php
// Set the password
$password = 'mypassword';
// Get the hash, letting the salt be automatically generated
$hash = crypt($password);
?>
Exemplo #3 Usando crypt() com diferente tipos de encriptação
<?php
if (CRYPT_STD_DES == 1) {
echo 'Standard DES: ' . crypt('rasmuslerdorf', 'rl') . "\n";
}
if (CRYPT_EXT_DES == 1) {
echo 'Extended DES: ' . crypt('rasmuslerdorf', '_J9..rasm') . "\n";
}
if (CRYPT_MD5 == 1) {
echo 'MD5: ' . crypt('rasmuslerdorf', '$1$rasmusle$') . "\n";
}
if (CRYPT_BLOWFISH == 1) {
echo 'Blowfish: ' . crypt('rasmuslerdorf', '$2a$07$rasmuslerd...........$') . "\n";
}
?>
O exemplo acima irá imprimir algo similar a:
Standard DES: rl.3StKT.4T8M Extended DES: _J9..rasmBYk8r9AiWNc MD5: $1$rasmusle$rISCgZzpwk3UhDidwXvin0 Blowfish: $2a$07$rasmuslerd............nIdrcHdxcUxWomQX9j6kvERCFjTg7Ra
Notas
Nota: Não há função decrypt, visto que crypt() usa um algoritmo unidirecional.

If you need to support older versions of PHP be aware that constants such as CRYPT_BLOWFISH may not actually be defined. So rather than following Example #3, you need a defined('CRYPT_...') call there before checking the constant's value.

This function is not binary safe. Any binary string containing a NULL byte (chr(0)) will not produce a valid hash.

I made a nice little wrapper function for crypt():
<?php
function hasher($info, $encdata = false)
{
$strength = "08";
//if encrypted data is passed, check it against input ($info)
if ($encdata) {
if (substr($encdata, 0, 60) == crypt($info, "$2a$".$strength."$".substr($encdata, 60))) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
else {
//make a salt and hash it with input, and add salt to end
$salt = "";
for ($i = 0; $i < 22; $i++) {
$salt .= substr("./ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789", mt_rand(0, 63), 1);
}
//return 82 char string (60 char hash & 22 char salt)
return crypt($info, "$2a$".$strength."$".$salt).$salt;
}
}
?>
This wrapper will accept a string as input and hash it, and output the hash result of the string and salt together, plus the salt added on the end. You can then store that output in a db, and pass it on to the function as the 2nd parameter when you go to verify it, along with the user input or whatever as the first.
Examples:
<?php
$hash = hasher($userinput);
if ($hash == hasher($userinput, $hash) {//authed}
?>
Neat huh?

Here is an expression to generate pseudorandom salt for the CRYPT_BLOWFISH hash type:
<?php $salt = substr(str_replace('+', '.', base64_encode(pack('N4', mt_rand(), mt_rand(), mt_rand(), mt_rand()))), 0, 22); ?>
It is intended for use on systems where mt_getrandmax() == 2147483647.
The salt created will be 128 bits in length, padded to 132 bits and then expressed in 22 base64 characters. (CRYPT_BLOWFISH only uses 128 bits for the salt, even though there are 132 bits in 22 base64 characters. If you examine the CRYPT_BLOWFISH input and output, you can see that it ignores the last four bits on input, and sets them to zero on output.)
Note that the high-order bits of the four 32-bit dwords returned by mt_rand() will always be zero (since mt_getrandmax == 2^31), so only 124 of the 128 bits will be pseudorandom. I found that acceptable for my application.

The makesalt() function code below when used to create an MD5 salt, produces a salt with characters not typically in a salt used by operating system crypt functions. Some of these characters may have unintended side effects depending on how they are used - including the following: @ ` ~ \ | {}.
I am using the following to create MD5-Crypt hashes, (yes, I am assuming CRYPT_MD5 support is present).
<?php
function md5crypt($password){
// create a salt that ensures crypt creates an md5 hash
$base64_alphabet='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
.'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/';
$salt='$1$';
for($i=0; $i<9; $i++){
$salt.=$base64_alphabet[rand(0,63)];
}
// return the crypt md5 password
return crypt($password,$salt.'$');
}
?>

I found out that you can use php:s crypt function to change the user/root password in Linux distributions (at least in Slackware).
You just have to change the encrypted password for the user in the /etc/shadow file with the output from crypt("newpassword");

Are you using Apache2 on f.i. WinXP and want to create .htpasswd files via php? Then you need to use the APR1-MD5 encryption method. Here is a function for that:
<?php
function crypt_apr1_md5($plainpasswd) {
$salt = substr(str_shuffle("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"), 0, 8);
$len = strlen($plainpasswd);
$text = $plainpasswd.'$apr1$'.$salt;
$bin = pack("H32", md5($plainpasswd.$salt.$plainpasswd));
for($i = $len; $i > 0; $i -= 16) { $text .= substr($bin, 0, min(16, $i)); }
for($i = $len; $i > 0; $i >>= 1) { $text .= ($i & 1) ? chr(0) : $plainpasswd{0}; }
$bin = pack("H32", md5($text));
for($i = 0; $i < 1000; $i++) {
$new = ($i & 1) ? $plainpasswd : $bin;
if ($i % 3) $new .= $salt;
if ($i % 7) $new .= $plainpasswd;
$new .= ($i & 1) ? $bin : $plainpasswd;
$bin = pack("H32", md5($new));
}
for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
$k = $i + 6;
$j = $i + 12;
if ($j == 16) $j = 5;
$tmp = $bin[$i].$bin[$k].$bin[$j].$tmp;
}
$tmp = chr(0).chr(0).$bin[11].$tmp;
$tmp = strtr(strrev(substr(base64_encode($tmp), 2)),
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/",
"./0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");
return "$"."apr1"."$".$salt."$".$tmp;
}
?>

I had problems with ENCRYPT MySQL function when i tried to compare with the encrypted password (with ENCRYPT).
Another solution i read from "UNIX Advanced programming" where i found about the UNIX system call "crypt()":
Password="tB" //The two first letters of encrypted password
SELECT password from users where Password=ENCRYPT('".$_POST['password']."',Password)
mysql> select password from users where password=encrypt('pasword','tB');
+---------------+
| password |
+---------------+
| tBY8OVuabSiTU |
+---------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
Bye.

With different password hashing methods supported on different systems and with the need to generate salts with your own PHP code in order to use the more advanced / more secure methods, it takes special knowledge to use crypt() optimally, producing strong password hashes. Other message digest / hashing functions supported by PHP, such as md5() and sha1(), are really no good for password hashing if used naively, resulting in hashes which may be brute-forced at rates much higher than those possible for hashes produced by crypt().
I have implemented a PHP password hashing framework (in PHP, tested with all of PHP 3, 4, and 5) which hides the complexity from your PHP applications (no need for you to worry about salts, etc.), yet does things in almost the best way possible given the constraints of the available functions. The homepage for the framework is:
http://www.openwall.com/phpass/
I have placed this code in the public domain, so there are no copyrights or licensing restrictions to worry about.
P.S. I have 10 years of experience in password (in)security and I've developed several other password security tools and libraries. So most people can feel confident they're getting this done better by using my framework than they could have done it on their own.

WRONG:
$mypassword = "toto";
$smd5_pass = "{SMD5}......." // in openldap
if (preg_match ("/{SMD5}/i", $smd5_pass))
{
$encrypted = substr($md5_pass, 6);
$hash = base64_decode($encrypted);
$salt = substr($hash,16);
$mhashed = mhash(MHASH_MD5, $mypassword . $salt) ;
$without_salt = explode($salt,$hash_hex);
if ($without_salt[0] == $mhashed) {
echo "Password verified <br>";
} else {
echo "Password Not verified<br>";
}
}
$without_salt = explode($salt,$hash_hex); should be $without_salt = explode($salt,$hash);
RIGHT:

cleaner version of shadow() and with more ascii chars
<?php
function shadow ($input){
for ($n = 0; $n < 9; $n++){
$s .= chr(rand(64,126));
}
$seed = "$1$".$s."$";
$return = crypt($input,$seed);
return $return;
}

Here's a little function I wrote to generate MD5 password hashes in the format they're found in /etc/shadow:
function shadow($password)
{
$hash = '';
for($i=0;$i<8;$i++)
{
$j = mt_rand(0,53);
if($j<26)$hash .= chr(rand(65,90));
else if($j<52)$hash .= chr(rand(97,122));
else if($j<53)$hash .= '.';
else $hash .= '/';
}
return crypt($password,'$1$'.$hash.'$');
}
I've written this so that each character in the a-zA-Z./ set has a 1/54 of a chance of being selected (26 + 26 + 2 = 54), thus being statistically even.
