So I am trying to learn more about encryption/decryption. I have a wordpress blog with passwords on it. I am wondering what type of encryption this is, and the steps to go about decrypting it:
$P$B0GFbv8OYRk.jZxN88dfBO0/iJdLL1.
It’s not encryption, but hashing. The method used by wordpress is called phpass, the implementation can be found in the wordpress code-base for example.
As it’s not encrypted, you can not decrypt it. You can try to find a plain-text however that matches the hash. This can be done with bruteforcing. A program that does this for the wordpress hashes is hashcat.
