Like many server applications, Ipswitch WSFTP Server doesn’t store actual passwords or even encrypted passwords. Instead, it stores cryptographic hashes that represent the original passwords. To figure out which cryptographic hash a particular server uses, an easy way is to take the original password, say “a1sd2d3”, and use an to figure out what that password looks like as an, or hash – three of the most popular hashes used today. In the case of WSFTP Server 7.5.1, a user created with a password of “a1s2d3” yields a HostUsers database entry of “b7d08232fb354b4a4fd0c755a213c7a7cb651b44ecdb548fed9c2114b2cb9140” in the UserPassword field. That matches a SHA-256 result from our online calculator, so we can see that WSFTP Server uses plain. SHA-256 hashes to store its user passwords.

How does WS_FTP Server store passwords? Hash table could be used to crack passwords from a captured WS_FTP Server. Management at Ipswitch (WS_FTP.

The biggest advantage of using a plain hash to represent a password is that it’s easy for third-party technology (such as the kind ) to create new user entries or even use WSFTP Server user’s table as its own authentication source. The biggest disadvantage is that a SHA-256 rainbow hash table could be used to crack passwords from a captured WSFTP Server database. (Or, a hacker with local access to the database could swap a password entry from a known usercode to another to gain access to a target account.) So what are WSFTP Server’s defenses against the disadvantages of straight hashes? One is longer and more complex passwords – long enough to avoid the rainbow tables. But a better defense is to quit using local hashes altogether. WSFTP Server allows each of its Hosts to be tied to either the local user database (which use the SHA-256 hashes) or to a remote authentication source. When your remote authentication source is a you instantly gain additional protection on your passwords.

You also gain immediate when people are disabled on your AD server, and you reduce the number of authentication stores you need to defend. = no salting, no keying. = details are here: – scroll down to the “SysKey” section.
