Create a decryption algorithm: Initialize the cryptographic algorithm used for encryption with the encryption key. Decrypt the file: Use CryptoStream and FileStream to read the encrypted file, decrypt its contents, and write the decrypted data to a new file.
Do not store passwords in plain text. Instead, use a secure password hashing algorithm to hash the password before storing it. This will make it more difficult for attackers to crack the password. This code uses the SHA256 hashing algorithm to hash the password.
SHA256 is a one-way hashing algorithm. It is not an encryption algorithm; you can't decrypt it, you can merely encrypt the same bytes again and compare the hashes. Note that hashing algorithms are 100% the correct way to go for storing passwords. You should never be able to decrypt a user's password.
The Username or Password will be first encrypted using Symmetric (Same) key AES Algorithm and then will be stored in the database. The Decryption will be done by fetching the encrypted Username or Password from Database and then decrypting it using the same key that was used for encryption.
In your login function, compare the input password with the database value. If it match then you have an Unhash password and can convert it. Or it doesnt and you try to compare the Hashed input and the database value, If match you have a hased password and the user should log in. Else no password match, login failed.
Use the Right Tools: Once you've figured out the type of encryption employed to protect a password, then you'll want to find the right tools to help you decrypt it. Here are some of the tools you can use: Password cracking software (John the Ripper, oclHashcat, etc)Decryption services (Decryptum, CyberChef, etc)
Passwords are encrypted by the UNIX crypt encrypting algorithm before they are stored in the directory. When crypt is used, only the 1st 8 characters of a password are used. Passwords longer than 8 characters are truncated. Passwords are encrypted by the MD5 hash algorithm before they are stored in the directory.
Data encryption: Use the RSACryptoServiceProvider class's encrypt function to encrypt data. The public key and the data's byte array are the parameters for this procedure. The encryption process transforms the data into an encrypted format using the recipient's public key.
Symmetric key: Your system has a key for encryption/decryption. Move your password through this key to scramble it, and push it back through the key to make it readable once more. A hacker must steal the key to take over your password. Public key: Two keys play a role in altering your password.
