Before passwords where 160bit encrypted many people just left theredatabases open in public places and didn't follow the installinstructions to protect databases.

This lead to people complaining on a daily baises that theirforums had been hacked by hackers getting hold of usernames andpasswords.

Since passwords have been encrypted this has stopped.

Most other forums systems (including phpBB, I believe) also encryptpasswords, but each system uses a different way of doing this and soare not compatible with each other.

the reason why they are encrypted one way, is so that nobody can get them, even if downloading the database.. if they were two way encrypted, you could just download a database and run a decrypt script, then you would have all the passwords]]> Mon, 02 Feb 2004 09:35:41 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/conversion-tool-from-webwiz-to-invision_topic9418_post50525.html#50525 <![CDATA[Conversion tool from WebWiz to Invision ? : There is absolutly no way for...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/conversion-tool-from-webwiz-to-invision_topic9418_post50518.html#50518 Author: BarBar

It would take the best part of a week working full time to write a conversion tool and I don't have the time.

If I did have the time I would first write a tool for converting from another board to this one.

Why not try asking them at the board you are moving to, it's more in their interest to invest the time writting such a tool.

Encrypted passwords would not be able to be moved, so you would need togive your users new passwords, even a conversion tool won't help withencrypted passwords.

I really enjoyed being a user of Web Wiz Forums, so I am not glad to move to another board.
I dont see it as a tournament between the boards, and even if it is, bruce will "loose" me anyway because I will have to move to another board

anyways, How can I copy the users passwords ? They are encryped right ?]]> Sun, 01 Feb 2004 15:09:28 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/conversion-tool-from-webwiz-to-invision_topic9418_post50393.html#50393 <![CDATA[Conversion tool from WebWiz to Invision ? : Semikolon wrote: yo, why should...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/conversion-tool-from-webwiz-to-invision_topic9418_post50388.html#50388 Author: thekiwi

Please, boRg or any other Heavy modder , can u build a convertor from WebWiz to phpBB or InvisionBoard ?
phpBB people and invisionboard people dont want to do that script, and I am just getting stuck between the chairs just like a lot of other users of webwiz who have to move to linux...

I have a free hosting from my friend , but he moves to a linux server from his own reasons , and I dont want to pay money for hosting.

A lot of big forums are doing conversions tools from and to their forums...
Is it possible to do it from Web Wiz to Snitz ? Because I saw a conversion tool from Snitz to Invision, so If I will get tool for Webwiz to Snitz maybe it will help

thank you,
