hi, if you have a back up of an smf board, how can you find out what the salt is, where would I look:

example...

(please note NO details on this sample are real, the usernames, mails web addresses, ips , photobuckets are edited to fakes. for sample fake users called bob and bill.)

INSERT INTO `smf_members`
(`ID_MEMBER`, `memberName`, `dateRegistered`, `posts`, `ID_GROUP`, `lngfile`, `lastLogin`, `realName`, `instantMessages`, `unreadMessages`, `im_ignore_list`, `passwd`, `emailAddress`, `personalText`, `gender`, `birthdate`, `websiteTitle`, `websiteUrl`, `location`, `ICQ`, `AIM`, `YIM`, `MSN`, `hideEmail`, `showOnline`, `timeFormat`, `signature`, `timeOffset`, `avatar`, `im_email_notify`, `karmaBad`, `karmaGood`, `usertitle`, `notifyAnnouncements`, `notifyOnce`, `memberIP`, `secretQuestion`, `secretAnswer`, `ID_THEME`, `is_activated`, `validation_code`, `ID_MSG_LAST_VISIT`, `additionalGroups`, `smileySet`, `ID_POST_GROUP`, `totalTimeLoggedIn`, `passwordSalt`)
VALUES (1, 'bob', 1100828058, 89, 1, '', 1158576685, 'bob', 1, 0, '', 383a2cb1ad270625b3a521aea4fafd64 'bob@bob.com', '', 1, '1978-03-26', 'edited', 'http://www.bob.com', 'somewhere, someplace', '', '', '', '', 0, 1, '', '', 0, '', 0, 179, 102, '', 1, 1, '211.x.x.x', '', '', 6, 1, '', 22809, '', '', 5, 110341, ''),
(2, 'bill', 1100828832, 770, 9, '', 1158555771, 'bill', 1, 0, '', '249d87c627fe2b8c8f21907a1f1862e6', 'bill@bill.com', 'Born to be bob!', 0, '0000-00-00', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', 1, 1, '', '? [img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/bob[/img]<br />[img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/bill[/img]<br />[img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/bob[/img]', 0, 'http://i13.photobucket.com/bob', 1, 17, 19, '', 1, 1, '71.x.x.x', '', '', 6, 1, '', 22804, '', '', 6, 632211, ''),

where would I look for the salt?

TIP: for anyone who does not know, I found that the md5 for the secret question answers on these boards are not salted!

It seems that there is no salted value in it .. Are you sure you paste it correctly .. ? or by modifiing it you didnt distroy anything . ?

one easy way to do it .. is to count the names unltil the `passwordSalt` and do the same with inserted values...

I dont know if i am wrong ..
anyone else ?
