Dear Pocketmine Team and everyone else, I am using the SimpleAuth plugin and people have created passwords and it doesn't show the password it shows the hash instead. I heard the way the hash works is for SimpleAuth it uses SHA-512 and whirlpool at the same time I was wondering can you convert this hash to text? Here is the hash: 2f416b0627d23d72945f081d1e3f256cfd06e38a22e7ddb2762f9c2e880fdfa530f27b52f85f85d459a0c30a77b452f0f03ec37f2a7a38fac708027ce587d655 Thanks a lot, Ian Please reply ASAP
Hashes are inherently one-way. You can use things like rainbow tables to crack hashes, but I know very little about it because reversing hashing algorithms never interested me.
Brute force. If you ever bother to make a way to do so. The reason why SimpleAuth was make official and to monopolize auth plugins is to avoid passwords being saves in plaintext and released, thus threatening the trust between players and owners to have their passwords safe. Although server owners can still change the hash algo or even check the player's input text, we try our best to protect player passwords, which is one of the core values in our community.
