Hi Alexander,
I have a basic question regarding MSCash2.
In above algorithm two inputs namely ussrname and password are used to
produce a certain hash.Then the generated hash is compared with the stored
value and if they are equal then the username and password entered are
correct.Now we hit and try different values of password to produce a hash
which matches the given value .So does this mean the username is some fixed
string??i.e is the username known to us beforehand and we only have to
guess the password?Right now my code assumes the username a fixed string.Is
it all right??
