Hello, I got this steps from http://www.ecuoug.org/papers/OraclePasswordAlgorithm.pdf
I'm a bit unclear about step 5, but it should be doable in Perl once you determine the EXACT steps you need to take. Here are some tips to maybe get you through the first four steps. This my be far off from what Oracle needs, but it seems to work for your first 4 steps. Some questions remain, like do you need a salt? What do you use to convert back to plaintext hash? Base64encode? What does "ignore parity bits" mean? You may want to ask this on http://perlmonks.org, where more saavy encryption and Oracle monks hang out. But make sure you can specify the EXACT steps needed. I'm sure it can be done. To be honest, I would assume that the Oracle designers have made this quite tricky to avoid hacking their passwords.
According to the document this is not true. I will try your code later. Thank you Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
