Question
Tjcrazy
I've had this thought for a while - but always figured there was a reasonable solution to it.
I run a CMS system that currently hashes its passwords into MD5 and then into SHA1 passwords - or SHA256, depending on the system.
I've always thought why can't you hash passwords a lot, to make them more secure.
For example:
Apart from it being totally stupid, and inefficient - why isn't this a 'proper' solution?
Surely to crack it, you'd have to crack every layer- in the example above, 6 layers?
Would love an answer!
Tim
