Hello,
I have been asked to look into how login can work on Win95, Win98,
NT4.0. My question is on the password on Win98 and perhaps NT4.0. I was
told that the password is encrypted, and I was wondering if there is a way
for it to be decrypted.
Here is how the program will work.
1) We will either
a) Use the login screen on Windows <== preferred
b) Write our own login screen <== If we have to
2) The login and password is sent to a client
3) Client sends it over an SSL connection to a server that will perform
the validation.
That is the basic idea. If the password is encrypted and we can't
decrypt it then we won't be able to validate, as we are using crypt right
now for encrypting the passwords.
If there is a good place or book for reference on this that would be
helpful also.
Thanx for any assistance.
