similar to: can we decrypt the cipher encrypted using Digest::SHA1.hexdigest

Hi, I have user add/edit forms.While creating a user I tried the following method to encrypt password and stored the encrypted password in the table. def self.sha1(pass) Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("#{salt}--#{pass}--") end But when I try to edit the page I get the encrypted password in the password field instead of the decrypted password. Is there any method to decrypt

Hi. I get a RecordNotSaved exception when trying to create a user record. The error: User Columns (0.005930) SHOW FIELDS FROM users SQL (0.000465) BEGIN SQL (0.000466) COMMIT ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved (ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved): ... As you can see, there''s no INSERT SQL generated, which is the root cause of the problem. In my user model, I have the following

Hi guys i found this encryption decryption in php and try to convert it in rails but i am unable to successfully convert it. So plz help me. I you write the whole conversion code then it will be great.

I''m trying to follow along with the Agile Development with Ruby on Rails book and have encountered a problem with code having the following syntax (partial class provided): require "digest/sha1" class User < ActiveRecord::Base private def self.hash_password(password) Digest:SHA1.hexdigest(password) end end I''m getting an error as: undefined method

Hi all, I''ve installed Puppet Enterprise 2.5 on Ubuntu 10.04.4 ("minimal" version on our new hosting provider, previous on amazon ec2 all works fine). So couldn''t login to puppet dashboard - internal server error. I found problem in rubycas-server. It fails when try to hash password: (/opt/puppet/share/rubycas-server/lib/casserver/authenticators/sql_encrypted.rb)

Hello, I am working through the railsspace tutorrial, and i''ve noticed that the password validation is no longer working. I can get screen_name and email to validate, but for some reason, the password field is ignored... here''s what i have so far: within user.rb file PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH = 4 PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH = 40 validates_length_of :password, :within =>

Hello, I want decrypt a password which is encrypted by MD5. there are 4 functions which i am using : # Encrypts some data with the salt. def self.encrypt(password, salt) Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("--#{salt}--#{password}--") end # Encrypts the password with the user salt def encrypt(password) self.class.encrypt(password, salt) end def authenticated?(password)

Im still following the authorization recipe from the book, now all works fine but im getting trouble in how handle the model authorization result, if the user and pass are correct, it goes to a welcome screen(admin.rhtml) but if wrong the model prints a message in an ugly exception like page "usr and pass not correct", i want to redirect the user to the login

I admit I am stuck. I am converting a legacy php site to ROR. The old site uses MD5, a security flaw waiting to happen. I upgraded to AAA and am adding code in the session_controller.rb file to see if crypted_password is blank. If it is, crypt and check the password against the old md5 version and write it in the new crypted_password field. Here is my code add on before the logged_in?: def

wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? I''m not sure why I"m getting this error ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password + user.password_salt) != user.password_hash

I''m getting this error message since i moved alot of the database logic to the model. wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank?

Hello all, I have a client with an older Rails 1.8 app (was recently upgraded from 1.6) and I need to integrate a php site to use the same user login creds. I''m not very versed with Ruby but I think this is the code that encrypts the password. [code] # Encrypts some data with the salt. def self.encrypt(password, salt) Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("--#{salt}--#{password}--")

Hi - I think the patent monster has struck again. rmd = hashlib.new('ripemd160',binascii.unhexlify(someString)).hexdigest() That fails - ValueError: unsupported hash type From some googling, it appears that the supported hash types are from OpenSSL and that means the OpenSSL in CentOS doesn't support ripemd160. I've worked around other stuff missing from CentOS OpenSSL by

Hi, I''m trying to convert an app to use 0.2.0, and having a little trouble understanding how to use the results hash. Formerly my worker had an instance variable, @file_stats which was initialized to an empty hash; I have replaced @file_stats with results[:file_hash]. Actually my initial pass at this was just to do a s/@file_stats/results[:file_hash]/. Which gets me the following:

Working through the beginning phase from the Agile book on ''Administration'' undefined method `hashed_password='' for #<User:0xb7911324> ... /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1498:in `method_missing'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/user.rb:12:in `before_create''

You really don't need openssl for that. And the fingerprints are simple. Here is a python script that do the same as ssh-keygen -fl /path/to/key : #!/usr/bin/env python3 import binascii import hashlib import sys if __name__ == "__main__": key = binascii.a2b_base64(sys.argv[1]) if sys.argv[2] == "md5": m = hashlib.new("md5")

Aside from the replay attacks discussed, there are some other attack vectors on the cookie_session store. I appreciate (and admire!) Jeremy''s good humor on all of this: > Planting the seed here led to quick ripening and plenty of pesticide. > Thanks for the fish, all. > > jeremy Anyway, here''s what we came up with: 1. Brute Force SHA512 can be computed _very_ fast.

Hi, I am currently installing doveot as POP and IMAP server, but I a have a few difficulties configuring it correctly. I use postgresql to store the user information. The passwords are stored SHA1 encrypted. Now I have the problem that dovecot isn't accepting the user. In dovecot-pgsql.conf I defined default_pass_scheme = SHA1 I am not quite sure about whether this is corrents, since it

I have done multiple google searches and searched the mailing list. All of the solutions I found seemed kind of heavy / complicated. I just want a very simple way to encrypt and decrypt a string. Something like: encrypt("fdsfdsfdsf", "some key"); decrypt("fdsfdsfsdf", "some key"); Is this possible? Thanks for your help. -- Posted via

2 quick questions regarding authentication ... 1) the flash[:notice] on successful login looks completely wrong to me. How should it be done? def index if request.post? @user = User.new(params[:user]) authentic_user = @user.attempt_login if authentic_user session[:user_id] = authentic_user.id flash[:notice] = ''Login successful!
