Thread: Upgrading your Matrix (or any revision) password security

Yes, it means that I tried to write a guide to better the community. Do you want to knit-pick at me and my thread like your friend because the level of cockiness around here honestly has just gotten to the point of annoyance.

we're not 'knit-picking' u on any thread though, vincent was trying to explain u the difference between hashing and encrypting which is a good thing

once again these were just small flaws and i honestly believe u did a good thing by encouraging server owners to attach more value to data protection

Well I am sorry to Vincent and yourself then, on R-S you have to be very defensive with your posts especially tutorials / snippets because everyone want's to give their two cents and try to act like they are on a higher level and give off just a general bad vibe on threads. I am trying to just keep this about security no arguments or flame :/

You really are comparing apples to oranges here, they are both fruits, but very different.

Spoiler for Tyler H, Vincent, and any other's who feel they are big men with a neg button:

I stand by the below statement, your little neg on my post for your friend is cute but it shows how incompetent you are and cannot read english like your friend.

This is not correct, he was openly trying to start something the moment he first posted with that arrogant comment:

That is not trying to calmly point out that my title is misleading that is trying to act big so please if you are going to neg me Tyler H please choose a better reason than that.

I am comparing the term algorithm and encryption to each other because of how insignificant the use of changing what you are suggesting I change. It's like can and may, yes they are different but the point is being clearly expressed. This thread is for encouraging and providing means of encrypting (convert (information or data) into a cipher or code, especially to prevent unauthorized access.) data e.g. passwords so that they cannot be read via means of hashing the data; then comparing raw data to the hashed value stored in the players file to validate that the value is a match to the key on file. Thus successfully ENCRYPTING that data. I am not trolling, you are just trying to boast your ego on my thread where it does not need to be and I would kindly ask you to drop this small ass detail you are so bent on discussing and trying to prove that you are right and I am wrong; because that is exactly what this is, let me remind you "I really hope you are trolling now.". I tried to be nice and apologize for defending myself but I was wrong and totally in line, this is just a sad attempt to shit on my thread and I don't appreciate it one bit.
