ComputerCraft Bank, Inta-server

Hello everyone, I am trying to make a bank for computercraft using PHP, mysql and the http.api. I am currently looking for people to help me do this.






Here I have a list of stuff that I need to complete:

• PHP -> Mysql interface (for computercraft to connect with)

• A simple interface for the in-game computer

• SHA512 Hashing for security of passwords - thanks to Gravityscore

• A online HTML interface (with ability to donate to get more money, transfer funds from one account to another, view balance, change user password etc.

• and finally submit to 'programs' forum

If you want to help please post below

DO NOT USE MD5! It is extremely insecure, and super easy to crack using a number of online, freely available crackers.

Please, if you're using PHP, save the lives of your users and use something more secure, such as SHA-512, that's available to you in PHP by typing:

$password = "THISISAPASSWORD";
$hashed = hash("sha512", $password);

I can't believe the amount of people that are obsessed with using MD5 over the past 2 days, whats the go?! I've had like 5 people want to use it, to the point of 1 person saying that its the most secure one to use! :(/>

The hope of a secure future is dying beneath our noses… :(/>

Exactly! :(/> It seems security is becoming a thing of the past when it needs to be priority #1 for everyone ALWAYS! And I have the bad feeling that its going to take another NDFJay experience for people to realise its seriousness again (well on the forums at least). I can't believe that MD5 still exists and SHA-1 too. They should be removed and SHA-2 should all be default on every system!!! Well I guess MD5 could stay around purely as a method of checksums.

On a side note I was considering making one of the SHA-3 hashes in CC if only the standard was complete :P/>

SHA-3 exists?

Yes, yes it does. Not out of necessity (unlike how SHA-2 was required) but because they felt like it :P/>

Can I just say this wasn't a topic for discussing all the encryption methods. Gravityscore, thanks for telling me how to encrypt with sha512 though it will help me alot.
