Given a path to a file, how can I validate that the file is a password-protected zip file? i.e., how would I implement this function? bool IsPasswordProtectedZipFile(string pathToFile) I don't need to unzip the file -- I just need to verify that it's a ZIP and has been protected with some password. Thanks ...
I have a simple text and password input with default username and password filled out. If I put focus on the text input and then remove the focus, it erases my password input for some reason. This only seems to happen on firefox. I thought it would be my surrounding code, but I tried moving everything to a blank page and stripped everyth...

Hi (I'm pretty new to this), I have created a portal where the user logs in and within that, they can view other programs I've made. The problem is the password recovery does not seem to be working - I get no error messages, I just get the message "We were unable to access your information. Please try again." I have the ASP.NET configur...
This is not the usual question "Is it safe to store plain-text users' passwords?". No, it's not safe, we all know that. I'm writing a little application that should authenticate against an external system to do some stuff, and the only available authentication method is through a username and a password. It was intended for humans, and ...
I run a website where we mark certain accounts as scammers, and "flag" their account and all credit cards used as being bad. We don't store actual credit card values, but are storing a checksum/MD5 algorithm of it instead. We are hitting collisions all the time now. What is the best way to store these values - non reversible, but ab...

I'm using TortoiseGit on Windows XP. My team all use a central svn server as our central "canonical" code repository. It's all run on a windows network. I work locally with git, then use git-svn dcommit to commit regularly to the svn server. Our network enforces a regular password change - which changes my password for the svn server ...
I'm writing a Firefox extension, and would like to display a password prompt. I don't just want to use the JavaScript prompt function, since it doesn't hide what's being typed. Instead, I'd like to have a prompt where the characters typed are replaced with asterisks or dots. Is there some way I can use a built in Firefox password dial...
How can msn messenger and others provide a way to remember password on disk and then send it to the server for authentication later? I searched for this topic and found a couple solutions such as BCrypt. However it stores hashed value and i can't send it to the server to authenticate. Others suggested do not save but that is not very pr...
How can I create a global password in phpBB, as in all forums are locked/unviewable to begin, and typing it in once unlocks all of them? It would also help if it stored the password for future visits, as well as not requiring a password for registered users. I know that I could use a .htaccess/.htpasswd solution, but 1. it requires both ...

I've got an HTML-only website (with a bit of inconsequential javascript). The static pages are generated from a photo-blogging program that I created. There are hundreds of pages and thousands of pictures. I'm considering adding very basic security to the site (as a marginal impediment to someone who's casually attempting to access th...
I have a simple problem that says: A password for xyz corporation is supposed to be 6 characters long and made up of a combination of letters and digits. Write a program fragment to read in a string and print out a message as to whether or not the string entered would be considered a valid password. I need help on completing this code....
So I have this black box authentication method, handed down to me from the accounts people, which basically amounts to ldap_bind($connection, $username, $password). But of course, I want my users to be able to log in for, say, 30 days at a time. The naive but insecure way to handle this is to store the username and password in plaintext...
I regularly use a standard form to send login information through the HTTP POST method and then validate it using php to check if the details are correct. I use an md5 hash on the passwords (and sometimes usernames) to give some degree of security, so I'm not storing a raw password in my code in case it's viewed by an unauthorised person...

I've spent the past 2 hours reading up on salting passwords, making sure that I understood the idea. I was hoping some of you could share your knowledge on my conclusions. Say the salts on a system are 12 characters. If i'm an attacker, I don't have to create a rainbow table of all the combinations of those 12 characters with each entr...
Does a library exist that will remove "owner" passwords from PDF documents so that the text can then be programmatically extracted from them? Something like PDF Technologies' Password Recovery tool, but callable from the command line or from Python. A GUI interface is not really useful to me, since the number of documents is so large. P...
