If I tell someone what my password is under a salted md5 hash chances are pretty much nil they'll be able to get the original password using rainbow tables, so I'd like to know how secure the method is on our Renegade serials.
Reason I'm asking is I want to enable automatic moderator logins, but to keep things safe I will be restricting their nickname to their specific serial hash.
Since other servers can easily find their hash if they play there, I want to know if it's possible to generate that same exact hash value without knowing the original serial. In other words, is what I plan to do secure or not?
