How can I store my users' passwords safely?
How much more safe is this than plain MD5? I've just started looking into password security. I'm pretty new to PHP.
$salt = 'csdnfgksdgojnmfnb';
$password = md5($salt.$_POST['password']);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users
WHERE username = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username'])."'
AND password = '$password'");
if (mysql_num_rows($result) < 1) {
/* Access denied */
echo "The username or password you entered is incorrect.";
}
else {
$_SESSION['id'] = mysql_result($result, 0, 'id');
#header("Location: ./");
echo "Hello $_SESSION[id]!";
}
The easiest way to get your password storage scheme secure is by using a standard library .
Because security tends to be a lot more complicated and with more invisible screw up possibilities than most programmers could tackle alone, using a standard library is almost always easiest and most secure (if not the only) available option.
The new PHP password API (5.5.0+)
If you are using PHP version 5.5.0 or newer, you can use the new simplified password hashing API
Example of code using PHP's password API:
<?php
// $hash is what you would store in your database
$hash = password_hash($_POST['password'], PASSWORD_DEFAULT, ['cost' => 12]);
// $hash would be the $hash (above) stored in your database for this user
$checked = password_verify($_POST['password'], $hash);
if ($checked) {
echo 'password correct';
} else {
echo 'wrong credentials';
}
(In case you are still using legacy 5.3.7 or newer you can install ircmaxell/password_compat to have access to the build-in functions)
Improving upon salted hashes: add pepper
If you want extra security, the security folks now (2017) recommend adding a 'pepper' to the (automatically) salted password hashes.
There is a simple, drop in class that securely implements this pattern, I recommend: Netsilik/PepperedPasswords (github).
It comes with a MIT License, so you can use it however you want, even in proprietary projects.
Example of code using Netsilik/PepperedPasswords
:
<?php
use Netsilik/Lib/PepperedPasswords;
// Some long, random, binary string, encoded as hexadecimal; stored in your configuration (NOT in your Database, as that would defeat the entire purpose of the pepper).
$config['pepper'] = hex2bin('012345679ABCDEF012345679ABCDEF012345679ABCDEF012345679ABCDEF');
$hasher = new PepperedPasswords($config['pepper']);
// $hash is what you would store in your database
$hash = $hasher->hash($_POST['password']);
// $hash would be the $hash (above) stored in your database for this user
$checked = $hasher->verify($_POST['password'], $hash);
if ($checked) {
echo 'password correct';
} else {
echo 'wrong credentials';
}
The OLD standard library
Please note: you should not be needing this anymore! This is only here for historical purposes.
Take a look at: Portable PHP password hashing framework : phpass and make sure you use the CRYPT_BLOWFISH
algorithm if at all possible.
Example of code using phpass (v0.2):
<?php
require('PasswordHash.php');
$pwdHasher = new PasswordHash(8, FALSE);
// $hash is what you would store in your database
$hash = $pwdHasher->HashPassword( $password );
// $hash would be the $hash (above) stored in your database for this user
$checked = $pwdHasher->CheckPassword($password, $hash);
if ($checked) {
echo 'password correct';
} else {
echo 'wrong credentials';
}
PHPass has been implemented in some quite well known projects:
The good thing is that you do not need to worry about the details, those details have been programmed by people with experience and reviewed by many folks on the internet.
For more information on password storage schemes, read Jeff`s blog post: You're Probably Storing Passwords Incorrectly
Whatever you do if you go for the 'I'll do it myself, thank you' approach, do not use MD5
or SHA1
anymore . They are nice hashing algorithm, but considered broken for security purposes.
Currently, using crypt, with CRYPT_BLOWFISH is the best practice.
CRYPT_BLOWFISH in PHP is an implementation of the Bcrypt hash. Bcrypt is based on the Blowfish block cipher, making use of it's expensive key setup to slow the algorithm down.
Your users will be much safer if you used parameterized queries instead of concatenating SQL statements. And the salt should be unique for each user and should be stored along with the password hash.
A better way would be for each user to have a unique salt.
The benefit of having a salt is that it makes it harder for an attacker to pre-generate the MD5 signature of every dictionary word. But if an attacker learns that you have a fixed salt, they could then pre-generate the MD5 signature of every dictionary word prefixed by your fixed salt.
A better way is each time a user changes their password, your system generate a random salt and store that salt along with the user record. It makes it a bit more expensive to check the password (since you need to look up the salt before you can generate the MD5 signature) but it makes it much more difficult for an attacker to pre-generate MD5's.
