Hello,

I try to understand the technic how user passwords are transfered from a client login to a firebird 1.5 database server.

When I listen my network traffic (e.g. with wireshark) I see that after the username a password hash follows. This password hash consists of 11 charakters.
A standard DES-Hash consists of 13 charakters.
These 13 charakters are a combination of 2 charakters from the "salt" and 11 charakters from the enncrypted password.

So maybe on firbird 1.5 the "salt" is missing ???
Does Firebird 1.5 use a standard encryption algorithm?

Is it DES with some modifications? Where can I find the "salt"?

Thanx for your help.
Marco
