How not to salt a hash
#2
Interesting read, nice insight.

A simple solution would be to switch the salt and sha1($pass), so that the algorithm would look like sha256(sha1($pass).$salt).

However, why chain algorithms when you can select a simple one with plenty iterations and a salt?
Looks like reinventing the wheel to me.
