Hi

Does anyone know how Asp.net membership generates their salt key and then how they encode it(ie is it salt + password or password + salt)?

I am using sha1 with my membership but I would like to recreate the same salts so the built in membership stuff could hash the stuff the same way as my stuff can.

Thanks

Hi there,

I can't recall exactly what they use, but you can take a look at the source as it's open. For more info:
