Md5 hashing in Thunkable!

[ILoveThunkable]

This service is down!

Hello everyone!
Today, I want to show you, my simple PHP script for hashing with MD5 algorithm.
What?
Hashing is a way of encryption, but the thing is that you cannot decrypt it. This method is being used everywhere. As well, it is being used by big companies like Google, Facebook, Apple.
Why?
Hashing is great, because it is impossible to “reverse it” & get the real value. So for example you can use if statement for checking, is the password correct.
How?
All you have to do, is to make a web request to to this url & use response content. (Use web component)

Replace data with your own string.

Happy Thunking!

Why not use MD5 for password hashing?

you might want to use the HmacSha256 method from the tools extension instead, which btw. also does not need any internet access…

Isn’t that the same as this?

@Barreeeiroo

Sure

Take a look to this url: http://server.sosgram.ga/android/md5.php?mode=passwd&entry=Thunkable
You can see this parts: Subdomain (server), Domain (sosgram.ga), Directory (android), File (md5.php) and PHP GET Requests (mode & entry)

This works as an interactive content, the mode declares what do you want (in this case a password) and the entry what do you want to encrypt (in this case, Thunkable) and you get a plain text encrypted as MD5.
The content of the file:

<?php
if ($_GET[‘mode’] == ‘passwd’) {
$url = $_GET[‘entry’];
print(md5($url));
}

else { print(‘Bad Request’);}
?>

It’s quite easy to understand it: first you verify that the URL contains the paremeter mode (with $_GET[‘mode’]), then you verify that the mode is set to passwd, or whatever you want. Aftert that, you declare a variable $url (for example) that gets the content of the entry parameter url (with $_GET[‘entry’]). And finally you print the request entry encrypted with MD5.

@Taifun, as I said this is a simple PHP script, thanks to @Barreeeiroo who kinda teached how to program in PHP. This is like a tutorial to myself. For learning purposes…
