md5 superhashing
 

I like to read about hashing passwords and have read articles about how md5 and sha-1 could be deciphered albiet it would take 25 million dollar computer and time but still if you could take a password and split it into two pieces and md5 hashed the two pieces add a salt in between and bring the two pieces togethter and md5 hash that i.e.

<?php

$password = $_POST['password'];

$length=strlen($password);

$divide=round($length/2);

$pass=str_split($password, $divide);

$salt ="097ever";

$pass1=md5($pass[0]);

$pass2=md5($pass[1]);

$newpass=md5($pass1.$salt.$pass2);

?>

this might add a half hour to your 25 million dollar computer.

Re: md5 supersalting
 

so if I used an array instead like this

<?php

$password = $_POST['password'];

$length=strlen($password);

$divide=round($length/2);

$pass=str_split($password, $divide);

$salt =array(b,o,n,k,y,w,l,e,m);

$saltydog=array_pop($salt);

$pass1=md5($pass[0]);

$pass2=md5($pass[1]);

$newpass=md5($pass1.$salt[0].$salt[6].$salt[1].$salt[5].$saltydog.$salt[6].$saltydog.$salt[1].$salt[2].$salt[3].$salt[7].$salt[4].$pass2);

?> 

does that make more sense richard?
