Hello there. I am using mysql support for anope, and I am designing my network's website around the sql database. I was wondering how the passwords are stored in the database. I mean, I can see that they are a large blob, but are they encrypted in any special way, or what not?
I am going to make a portal so users can log into the main site via their nickname and password, and can navigate on the forums etc using that nickname, but after viewing the database for anope it appears that it's encrypted some way.
Any help would be much appreciated.
