Decrypt Salted SHA1 Hash
I found interesting article on Hacker News.
This is a blog written by engneer of Adguard. He mentions malicious web browser plugin and smartphone application that sends user's SNS information to server.
By the way, Auther setted a question about decoding hashed Facebook ID in the article. This is why I code decode program in Python.
import hashlib
number = 0
salt = 'eME9Azj8G28Y'
while True:
number_padded = '%015d' % number
m = hashlib.sha1()
m.update((salt + number_padded).encode('utf-8'))
if('e5b1149132aab56eba55168d0b0c7a095ab066f2' == m.hexdigest()):
print(number_padded)
break
number = number + 1
Simple brute force code.
