Greetings,
A site I developed was recently compromised, most likely by a brute force or Rainbow Table attack. The original log-in
script did not have a SALT, passwords were stored in MD5.
Below is an updated
script, complete with SALT and IP address banning. In addition, it will send a Mayday email & SMS and disable the account should the same IP address or account attempt 4 failed log-ins. Please look it over and let me know what could be improved, what is missing, and what is just plain strange.
Many thanks!
