php user login security
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2005 2:19 pm
Hey does anyone know a good site to find to help me develop a login page using PhP and Javascript to hash the users password for security reasons. I just need something relatively simple to keep casual hackers out of my database system while allowing my users to access the application at the same time. I've tried using javascript to do an MD5 hash on the client side adding in a random challange variable to keep hackers from just sniffing the clear text or the hashed text and getting in all the time but I dont seem to be having any luck.
I can hash anything I want on the server end but when I try to do the javascript portion of the code its not recognizing the external js file I have that allows javascript to hash. So does anyone here know any sites I can go to get some ideas on how to resolve this?
