  • What is the safest way to store a user's password in the database? Did you guess hashing? If you did then you would be correct. Hashing with a salt, and using a slow running algo like bcrypt is the safest way to go about storing a user's password in the db. In this video I demonstrate how to use bcryptjs to do just that.

    Finally!! Thank You!. I was loosing my mind thinking how bcrypt knows what salt was used when comparing. now I know

    • @sarunluitel2001
      @sarunluitel2001 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Apparently there is also the concept of peppers (a fixed value stored in the server to append to each password) on top of salt. Are there anything else used in the modern day "best practices"?

    Thanks, 14:52 is the explanation I was looking for - the output bcrypt creates contains both the hash and the salt concatenated (plus the number of salting rounds), therefore there is no need to store the salt separately when building an application.

    So basically, Hacker can still get access to the salt and the hashes and figure out the password but he would have to create his own rainbow table for that specific salt which would be infeasible for him. Thankyou for the explanation!!

    Only thing I don't understand is why we even bother with the salt if we append it to the hashed password and then store it in the DB... is it because the hackers won't know the length of the salt? Or is it because any random salt at all makes the rainbow table useless? Regardless, very good tutorial. You explain things well.

  • @TheAboutTown
    @TheAboutTown 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    thanks for this great video. I have a couple of questions. Is the salt also stored in the database somewhere? Or is it always some fixed length, say n, and the comparison is made without the last n characters in the hash with the salt? In other words, how is the salt removed? Also why do the salts in this video always start with a$10$?

    This may be stupid question, but if the salt that has been used is stored in the DB why can't the hackers just use that information to run through the common passwords. Is this unavoidable and this is just a way to make it more time comsuming for the hackers?

    You mentioned while comparing the password bcrypt take the salt out from the hash stored in the database and attaches it to the password that user has entered and then creates the hash for comparing both the has one present in the database and one that user has entered, but how does bcrypt know what is the start index and the end index of the salt to get the salt out of the hash i.e. stored in the database.

    • @CodingWithChaim

      Bcrypt is the one that appends the salt to the hash so they know where it is

    So if I get it right if the hacker knows where the salt begins and where it ends (since bcrypt is an open source package) we're back to the initial spot where they can just use the rainbow tables again, right?

    • @CodingWithChaim
      @CodingWithChaim  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No because the salt is totally random and is hashed.

    • @mykhailosichkaruk
      @mykhailosichkaruk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Seems reasonable to me too. If a hacker knows the hash() function and salt, he still can create rainbow tables.
      It should look like this:
      rainbow table = "salt "+ hash( "salt" + "popular_password")
      But hacker need to create a new table for every "salt".

  • @puneetsingh9678

    bcrypt should be used in the frontend and then the hash should pass through network and stored in the db right?

    • @CodingWithChaim

      No. The password is sent in plain text to the server and then hashed on the server.

  • @ty.udy_
    @ty.udy_ 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So theoretically, if a hacker got access to your database, couldn't they make a rainbow table out of the normal passwords hashed with the first 27 characters of your stored password (aka your salt)? Or is the idea that that takes so long that it isn't feasible?
