obtaining hashed passwords
Are there ways to obtain hashed passwords by sifting through the source code of an email? i used to know how to do this, but i forgot and cant find anything on how to do it anymore. a description or a link to a tutorial would be greatly appreciated!
Stay safe out there, stranger.

Not that I know of. It seems like that would be woefully undersecured if it just sent it with the email for no real reason.

Re: obtaining hashed passwords
No idea. I stopped learning how to hack way back when I was in high school. Last time I checked windows had problems with hashing their passwords. You used to be able to load a Linux boot disk and be able to not only bypass the windows password at the beginning, but read all the password files.

What was the goal here?
Obviously as an administrator I have to ask.

Re: obtaining hashed passwords
When or why would an email contain a hashed pw?
Re: obtaining hashed passwords
^ That. I can see encryption of some sort, but why would it ever contain the password?

It feels like it would be easier if you just installed a key logger on a computer or just some simple phishing scam. People are generally pretty dumb.

The best way is to make a real looking and sounding website.
