Long story short. I want to use Mac OS/X and PHP. I have a db with
passwords stored under Linux using the crypt("foo", "$1$".$salt."$) ;
scheme. This means that crypt should execute a CRYPT_MD5 password hash.
I know that Mac OS/X only supports the two DES'. So is there a way I can
use mcrypt, or mhash or ANY library to reproduce php's CRYPT_MD5 crypt()
call?
I don't really have a choice to use another password hash scheme, as the
data is being given to me. I have tried almost everything to produce the
same output to no avail:
Under Linux, php has a crypt() function which takes the md5 format (and
blowfish). This will produce a hash of:
<<CRYPT MAGIC><< 8 CHAR USER SALT>$ <<HASHED PW>>
$1$ FpsaEXUM $ rXsH1UzUs6w3vfi k/wHGr.
PHP supports DES under Mac OS/X (no blowfish, or MD5 crypt). Sites I've
been to, have informed the developer to use a different algorithm and
that it would solve their problem. I, alas, cannot use a different
system. The passwords are stored in someone else's DB and I am forced to
use the Linux PHP/Crypt/MD5 version.
I have tried the md5(), mcrypt (as much as i can understand it, I am not
an encryption expert), mhash (MHASH_MD5) functions to no avail.
To explain what I am doing...
With PHP's crypt() on Linux:
1) look up the password for the user logging in (in a DB or file)
2) grab the salt for that password (it's created at random when the
password is created): chars between '$1$' and '$' (8 characters)
3) take the user supplied password, run it through PHP's crypt with the
same salt: crypt("foobar", "$1$"."FpsaEXUM "."$")
3a) Result: $1$FpsaEXUM$rXs H1UzUs6w3vfik/wHGr.
With mhash:
base64_encode(m hash(MHASH_MD5, $mypassword, "$1$".$salt."$" ));
Result: 6ZspEb5d0AMqo/RkSod8dw==
With mhash:
base64_encode(m hash_keygen_s2k (MHASH_MD5, $mypassword, "$1$".$salt."$" ,
16));
Result: blAOWSV9/hmRk/Z06IFQKA==
I've tried permutations of those without the "$1$"..."$" and still
nothing. Even if the hash matched, and I would just add the "$1$"..."$"
that would work. I've tried md5(), no luck.
Needless to say, the crypt() functions on the mac don't work. I
obviously recompiled php to support mcrypt and mhash (and gd, unrelated
issue), hoping that would solve the issue... no dice.
any help, i am desparate here... heck even an explanation as to why it's
not possible even with external libraries, would be good.

I've written a php page which allows users to type in a text string and a
key, then choose from a dropdown menu of encryption/decryption cyphers, and
a method (encrypt, decrypt).
The whole thing works, except the mcrypt command doesn't work.
here is my mcrypt command:
if ($method == 0) {
//Encrypt
$output = mcrypt_ecb ($algorithm, $key, $input, MCRYPT_ENCRYPT);

Thanks.

I'm writing an app that will use blowfish encryption..
PHP's mcrypt will be used if available.
if not, I'll use PHPmyadmin's blowfish.php library.
The problem is I can't figure out what initialization vector
blowfish.php is useing (or if that's even my problem).
ie, if I encrypt with blowfish.php and decrypt with mcrypt:
/* include path to phpmyadmin '/libraries/blowfish.php'; */
$secret = 'secret';

Hello, My hosting company does not support the PHP mcrypt functions.
Instead, they recomend using the command line, /usr/local/bin/mcrypt
utility via PHP's exec method. Sadly, they do not provide any
documentation how to do this. How would i translate the following
function encryptString($p_str)
{
$iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_XTEA,
MCRYPT_MODE_ECB);
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);

Hi,
I'm getting some strange errors that I cannot pin down:
Warning: mcrypt_generic_init(): Iv size incorrect; supplied length: 7,
needed: 8 in......
This is strange because the data is encrypted, inserted into the
databse, then later retrieved and decrypted with the necessary hash and
ivector keys.
