Aha2y, most people that know how to do that have mIRC and they can just decode it on their end. Unless you do an array of encodings, and even then the only protection is people not knowing the array, it makes no difference. if you do want to go that route, I've got a couple ideas. Talk to me in #savage_CL.

Look at a !cmd <- which is public (by a mIRC newby) and someone try's !cmd msg #channel $readini(password.ini, $network, password) - Which will return the password!

I thought it would be usefull when the password is encrypted saved to a file, and not in plaintext.

if he is the only person with the access to that, no one else on the entire world can decode that
cause, the /getpass will only return it to user

by the way, i really dont see a need for an encode option

jaytea: if he is using the encode to keep it safe, then anybody with mirc can decode itm

There is no way to use secure encryption and then decrypt it easily. When you make password/login system you would normally write a hash to a database, then when someone wants to login you encrypt the password they put into the login system and compare it against whats already in the database from when they registered.

You would only need to encrypt a password where theres more than the owner given the ability to use the software, i.e: theres multipul users in such system like hawkee, facebook, forums, etc as there could be security flaws that could mean password hashes get exposed. And thats the whole idea of hashing a password so if they do get exposed they are extremly difficult to decrypt.

I cant see the need to encrypt this with an md5, if any encryption at all, if the only user is going to be the person using the script.

Then the password will be added in a database as plaintext :|

Im going to do a research for a Secured encryption :)

@Aha2Y mIRC creates the hash with $md5 and returns it. However there is no way in mIRC, or infact any *easy* way to decrypt/crack an md5 hash. Normally when using md5 with passwords you just compare the hash in the database with the hash of what the user has inputted.

what exactly do you want?

you can use



but encrypting it with $md5 wil not help in nothing
since if the person use the /getpass command, all it will return is the md5 hash... which you cant decrypt

The $md5 identifer only returns md5 hash.
I searched the help file, but there is no identifer for creating a md5 hash.

i just wondered the same thing... if he saves it into a INI file, how could he can get the pass again, without a cracker? (if the pass exist on the cracker database)

how would he then get the password?



who is 'anybody'?

You should experiment with $md5() instead.

Using $en/decode will not help considering anybody can decode it

Doesnt mIRC have this feature built in, customized for each server/network >.> <.<

I wouldnt use "/ns id pass" in an on connect event, i would suggest matching the notice text to insert your password, that way if you change nicks you will be automatically identified when it prompts you for a password, rather than when connecting.

I suggest using $encode and $decode, just for safety.
