Encryption

You haven't asked a question either
I assume your looking for help on how to store a string safely using an MD5 checksum in C#.

I've never worked with MD5's but this might be of help: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.md5cryptoserviceprovider(v=vs.80).aspx

Just incase you wanted to know how I found that:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+use+MD5+C%23

with normal md5 i can make like this Encrypt 4e9e4bcc5752d6f939aedb42408fd3aa:0vURRbyY8Ea0tlvnTFn7xcKpjTFyn0YT
this a password md5 with salt
i only find the md5 with salt in php and javascript

Your still not saying what your wanting us to do.
Is english your first language because grammar is rather poor and making it very difficult to understand your post. If english is not your first language then that is fair enough

i want save a string in md5 + salt
becouse i want use my joomla 2.5 to make a login in my applicantion

Dont forget to add pepper... Nah check out the bottom of this post. It shows a function for MD5 + salt in C#. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1300890/md5-hash-with-salt-for-keeping-password-in-db-in-c-sharp

You'd be better off using SHA than MD5. MD5 gets a little more dangerous every year.

Also, if you can run an MD5, adding a salt before the hash really shouldn't be anything more than concatenating or modifying the password in some simple way. Come up with your own simple hash algorithm. That in itself could be your pre-hash salt. Or just MD5 it twice. Or MD5 then SHA.

Finally, just want to say that you are not encrypting. Encryption is reversible. Hashing is not.

i want hash my password in md5 with salt becouse my website is in md5 with salt
for now

Finally, just want to say that you are not encrypting. Encryption is reversible. Hashing is not.

Or, you know, use bcrypt/scrypt. It's intentionally slow and memory-greedy, to defeat hardware attacks and has been designed specifically, by cryptographers, with password hashing in mind. But apparently this is not a possibility at this moment for the OP. Still what is the problem you're having Landi20? You still haven't asked a single question, you just gave us code and told us what it presumably does... what sort of answer do you expect?

I think the issue may be that he doesn't really understanding what hashing or salting is. If someone here could surpass the language barrier (or knows a good website that describes the concepts in really simple english) that might help him out.

the code works but i can´t make like this 4e9e4bcc5752d6f939aedb42408fd3aa:0vURRbyY8Ea0tlvnTFn7xcKpjTFyn0YT
and the result i have it is kBBoztuz2bU2vou/jtctxcQ==
and i don´t find the problem

Well you are converting the "hash||salt" string into a base64-encoded string at the end of the method, so it will show up garbled. If you want to output it formatted (which you probably do, since you need to know the length of the hash to be able to separate them again later on, unless you somehow keep track of the algorithm used), you should go:

return Convert.ToHex(hashBytes) + ":" + Convert.ToBase64(saltBytes);

... or whatever the hexadecimal conversion function is in C#. Then you will get an output of the form [hash in hexadecimal]:[salt in base64]. Or something like that.

i make the changes but i have some errors
i have to put the code in password.cs our logon.cs

You're getting those errors because those methods don't exist, which is why Bacterius said

... or whatever the hexadecimal conversion function is in C#.

For the hex string, you can use BitConverter.ToString like in the last example shown here.

i change the code but i have the same problem

i can resolve the problem
but i don´t have error but i have the same result
what i have to invoke the function
i make some modification in this function ComputeHash()

You need to be clearer about what your problem is. You need to explain what is currently happening, what should be happening, and any errors and output you are currently getting, along with a description of what you want/expect to happen.

One way to get such clarity is to reduce the amount of code in the example. For example, create a new console project and trying to get the hashing/verification working with a hard-coded hash and salt. This removed all the GUI and database stuff for the time being, until you have the hashing part well understood. An incomplete example would be like the following:

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
const string Algorithm = "SHA256";

string actualPassword = "topsecret";
byte [] salt = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
string expectedHash= SimpleHash.ComputeHash(actualPassword, Algorithm, salt);

Console.WriteLine("Please enter your password: ");
string attemptedPassword = Console.ReadLine();

if(SimpleHash.VerifyHash(attemptedPassword, Algorithm, expectedHash))
{
Console.WriteLine("That is the correct password!");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("That password is incorrect...");
}
}
}


The SimpleHash class has been put in a separate file. Now, this example does not work (I don't have time to complete it). But it illustrates an important idea, a minimal example that, combined with your "SimpleHash" code in a separate file, allows all of us to actually run your code and see the behaviour and any error messages. From quickly experimenting with the code, it appears that there are asymmetries between the output format of ComputeAndHash and the expected format of VerifyHash, or I have not understood the correct usage of the API.

Some other things I noticed;

You appear to be double hashing the input. I don't see why the result of Password.ComputeSaltedHash() should be passed through yet another hashing algorithm.

It doesn't make any sense to randomly generate a salt during verification. The salt must be generated during sign-up, and stored in the database. When the user logs in, select the salt and hash using their user name. Compute the verification hash using the provided password and the salt from the database. Compare with the actual hash that was selected.
This is what the following line seems to be saying:

// NOTE: you store the salt and the salted hash in the datbase
[/quote]

Also, I would recommend just picking a single hashing algorithm and using that. If possible, this should be bcrypt(), but a modern SHA will suffice too, probably. In my example code I made the algorithm used a named constant.

white simple hash i can make but when i want put the md5 with salt i can´t make work
i want make like this password 4e9e4bcc5752d6f939aedb42408fd3aa:0vURRbyY8Ea0tlvnTFn7xcKpjTFyn0YT and i have this result The MD5 hash of 123 is: Ys3ARluCr6wKdd+tHsyBLw==
and i expecte password like this 4e9e4bcc5752d6f939aedb42408fd3aa:0vURRbyY8Ea0tlvnTFn7xcKpjTFyn0YT and don´t have error
i can´t find the problem becouse i dont have some error

Ok, I think I can see the problem better now. You have an existing database, which is configured by Joomla. There are existing users in this database. You want to write your own code to authenticate these users against this database.

First a warning, if this program is for public distribution then you absolutely should not authenticate directly against the database. Your database must not be accessible to random Internet users. If you want to distribute this program to other people, you will need to create a server infrastructure to perform the authentication. This could be a simple PHP script, or some kind of Joomla "plugin" (I'm not familiar with Joomla). The client would talk to the server, and the server can then delegate to the Joomla database if that is what you want.

Assuming this is a private client for your own use, then something like the following should work:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
namespace Help
{
class Program
{
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1422314/converting-byte-array-to-string-and-back-again-in-c-sharp
public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] ba)
{
StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder(ba.Length * 2);
foreach (byte b in ba)
hex.AppendFormat("{0:x2}", b);
return hex.ToString();
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
ASCIIEncoding Encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();


// An encoded version of "topsecret" with the given salt.
string hashAndSalt = "360b58a3d6e04ec55ee0bab1a74cd467:rsw2iD2cZToBxyg4ZYKrqIzeerLibLlP";
string[] split = hashAndSalt.Split(':');
if (split.Length != 2)
{
// Fail
}

string salt = split[1];
string expectedHash = split[0];

Console.WriteLine("Please enter your password: ");
string plaintext = Console.ReadLine();


string saltAndPlaintext = plaintext + salt;
byte[] saltAndPlainbytes = Encoding.GetBytes(saltAndPlaintext);
byte[] actualBytes = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider().ComputeHash(saltAndPlainbytes);
string actualHash = ByteArrayToString(actualBytes);

if (expectedHash == actualHash)
{
Console.WriteLine("That is the correct password!");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("That password is incorrect...");
}
}
}

I used an online Joomla password tool to encode "topsecret" as the value in this program's source.

You'll have to wire this into your current code, including extraction and parsing of the column, etc.

ok

but i have a problem it is the result it is The MD5 hash of 1 is: 8284615a1dc08e26b6c5921320c036b1. and not 4e9e4bcc5752d6f939aedb42408fd3aa:0vURRbyY8Ea0tlvnTFn7xcKpjTFyn0YT
this password its a exemple
