CAccountPassword

Server/mods/deathmatch/logic/CAccountPassword.cpp

Valid password types

There are two different supported password types right now:

• md5: directly stores the md5 hash of the password (deprecated)
• sha256: stores the sha256 hash, the type of password, and the salt

m_strSha256 (64) + m_strType (1) + m_strSalt (32);

• m_strSha256: generated string (64 characters; 00-64)
• m_strType: differentiates between password type (1 character; 65th character)
• m_strSalt: regular salt (32 characters; 66-97)

md5 string generation

When m_strType == 1, the legacy md5 mode is used.

strMd5 = md5(strPlaintextPassword).UPPERCASE
m_strSha256 = sha256(m_strSalt + strMd5)

sha256 string generation

When m_strType == 0, the legacy md5 mode is NOT used and the plaintext password has been directly hashed.

m_strSha256 = sha256(m_strSalt + strPlaintextPassword)
