    <p>No, because when the password gets hashed it doesn't look like <code>fishABC09</code>, it looks like: <code>5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</code> which is an md5 hash. </p> <p>To gain access to your system, even if they know the hash, it cannot be reversed. We use salts in order to add complexity to our hashes, and to prevent hash lookups in rainbow tables.</p> <p>For example: Do a <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?aq=f&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99" rel="nofollow">Google search</a> for the md5 hash of "password" which is: <code>5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</code> </p> <p><strong>A lot of results right?</strong></p> <p>Now I'm going to create a hash again, I will still use "password", but I will add a SALT which is "AHG(*@". I'm guessing the only response will be for this post and some bot scrapers that have read this post :)</p> <pre><code>cbe57e92ffbb0086320891b9f979156d </code></pre> <p>Should be only a <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=md5%20concat#sclient=psy&amp;hl=en&amp;source=hp&amp;q=cbe57e92ffbb0086320891b9f979156d&amp;pbx=1&amp;oq=cbe57e92ffbb0086320891b9f979156d&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;aql=&amp;gs_sm=e&amp;gs_upl=23464l23464l0l23794l1l1l0l0l0l0l282l282l2-1l1l0&amp;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&amp;fp=79337a0a8d512e3a&amp;biw=1920&amp;bih=944" rel="nofollow">few results</a>, or this post which are this post.</p> <h2>Just Remember</h2> <p>Just remember this... hashes are <strong>one way</strong>, so even if you gain the hash, you do not know what was used to create it </p>
