Why Salting Passwords is Crucial?
Track: Java
Topic: OWASP Vulnerabilities
Focus: SQL Injection
Java: SQL Injection
Answer
Salting ensures unique hashes for identical passwords.
Salting involves adding a unique value to each password before hashing, which prevents attackers from using precomputed tables (rainbow tables) to crack passwords. For instance, if two users on an e-commerce site use 'password123', salting ensures their hashes differ, increasing security.
