I am very new to web application (ASP.NET). I have source code and database for a complete project.
ASP.NET (Authentication) control is used for login. I don’t know the password right now but i can get the login name and password in encrypt format from the database table.
How could I login to the application with only this little information available.
As the control are dynamically created on the pages, it is very hard to debug and find them on runtime.
How could i proceed for login by encrypted password? or is there a way to login by overcoming Authentication control.
The password is probably SHA1 encrypted. Basically what you have to do is SHA1 encrypt the password the user gives you and compare that to the password in your database. Because SHA1 always results to the same thing if the input is the same, you will know that the users given password is correct if both hashes match.
SHA1 encryption is a form of hashing and cannot be reversed.
