I'm trying to figure out what hashing algorithm was used to create this hashed value. then I'll was 10 or 15 minutes trying to reproduce the hash. if nothing comes of it then I'll move on with life.
background: this webservice thing I've been working on is in a BETA so there is a lot of stuff you can't do, like pull product image paths etc from it (which is important for a shopping cart). Well i found a backdoor (yes it's a legal one) which uses a simple HTTP request and that produces an image. The issue is that for some reason the service provided have added this extra "hash" onto each url link and each image has it's own hash (along with a client id, and a media id). SO i just figured if i could find out what produced the 20 char hash / string maybe i could reproduce it with by tossing in a couple of items. so far it seems like this won't happen so I'll have to hope they open up image grabbing in the webservice sooner rather than later. jonese On 4/11/06, Brad Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think maybe we are a little confused about just what it is that you > are trying to accomplish here. > > Are you trying to write your OWN hashing algorithm? > Are you trying to find out the original string which was used to produce > this hashed value? > Are you trying to figure out WHAT hashing algorithm was used to create > this hashed value? > > ~Brad > > -----Original Message----- > From: jonese [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 3:56 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: hash question > > right i know this and i have some ideas what data is being hashed but > i cannot figure out how to limit a hash to only 20 chars. most of the > hashing i've even done has been in md5 sha1 etc and this is obviously > not that. > > I know this is a long shot but i was hoping that the 20 char limit > might ring a bell to someone. > > jonese > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:237479 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
