Pls read the below (from a vbulletin admin) at an IT forum, where I am a moderator, in order to understand how vbulletin's password encryption works...

"When you salt a hash you add extra characters to the original hash and then hash it again.

So if your password was Arnox: md5(Arnox) = f0dc9695a2038573c4883c3d23311485

Now if you salted that f0dc9695a2038573c4883c3d23311485+sdfw34twsd

-> md5(f0dc9695a2038573c4883c3d23311485sdfw34twsd) = bdbff09e470662ed9e063c600b9d5a51

bdbff09e470662ed9e063c600b9d5a51 would be stored in the database. So unless you knew the salt it would make it very very very hard to decrypt it.

Whatever salt you choose to use needs to be consistent."

it refers to v3.5.8. version which is earlier than the gsforum's version, but i think it works for later versions as well (searching for relative info)

vbulletin uses md5 hashing and passwords cannot be seen !

Hashing is something like encryption.

Όλα αυτά, δε μας τα κάνεις "δίφραγκα" ρε παλικάρι????
Τι εννοείς?
