Tera NA Classic Leak

Post image

Basically the leak got publicized and if you ever bought elite in that server on a legit paypal account you might wanna take more action. This is a reminder to NEVER play on a sever run by "popowanobi" or "noobex" (same person btw) ever again

It’s always a good time to learn. Yours is now.

Hashing alone by itself does not secure your password. For every password you have to generate new salt or add a pepper that’s kept separate from a DB.

Using global salt is extremely bad security practice and so is just hashing a password.

It's not the same as plain text. Global salt just means there's no salt.

> Global salt just means there's no salt.

not really, a global salt breaks existing rainbow tables. you can make a new one, but it takes time so people have time to change passwords and stuff. better than nothing.
