Hey guys,
I was just wondering what encryption SMF 2.0RC3 uses for the passwords it stores?

Thanks.

sha1(strtolower($username) . $password)

passwords cannot be retrieved from it; its one way only hashing

Could always do dictionary/brute attacks, and maybe within your lifetime get somewhere.  :)
