Hey Epixoip,
First off I am sorry I posted this in the wrong forum :| my bad.
Second - there is no salt being added into my example above, you say this is not a strong way to produce a hash for a password. Is that because its easy to reverse the tree of hashes to find the starting hash? I checked this with a brute force calculator and its said it would basically take "ForEver" to be able to crack it. What am I misunderstanding about using a method like this to generate a hash from a hash?
