Hello folks, I'm doing a pentest on a server, and I got root access through a Joomla web app, I got a dump of the jp_users table in MySQL, however the passwords are obviously hashed and salted. I honestly don't expect the passwords to be strong, so they can be bruteforced, md5-looked up easily. However, how can I determine the salt value? I already have root access on the server but I don't know where to look in MySQL to find the salt value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
