A hashed salt works like this:
| Code: | 1. Take a string (e.g. your password, lets say "g00dpas$") and hash it via the MD5 algorithm.
Result: 91fa9ee6ca11c7c70d97c8a9948830ab
2. Take a random string and append it to the hash (let's say "mysalt")
Result: 91fa9ee6ca11c7c70d97c8a9948830abmysalt
3. Hash that string
Result: af96e73d0113df4068592928b5156032
4. Store that hash (af96e73d0113df4068592928b5156032) and the salt (mysalt) in a database.
5. When someone tries to log into the account, follow the same process as above, and if the hashes match at the end, allow the user to log in. |
Basically, if you don't have a salt to go with this hash, you have nothing. |
