Hi,
I've read somewhere that adding a salt at the beginning of the password before hashing it is a bad idea. Instead, it is much more secure to insert it somewhere in the middle if the password.
I don't remember where I've found this, and cannot neither find any other articles saying the same thing, nor understand why this may increase security.
So is it true? Or it really doesn't matter from security perspective? If the assertion is true, can somebody explain why? Is it valid only for weak hashes like MD5/SHA1?
