Password Database Help

[bojanglesman]

Does anyone know how to make a password database in visual basic so that i will have a username and password prompt for my projects. If i wanted to sell my macro i mean i would give everyone a username and password so they could access it without adding it to the visual basic code and adding it to some kind of password database.

The method that go's like this is easily cracked and gay!

If text1.text = "usernamehere" and text2.text = "passwordhere" then
MAINFORM.Show
End If
else
MsgBox "Wrong Username Or Password Try Again"

Well, you could do a My-SQL PHP database link if you have a website.

My authorization system works like this using the user's IP address. The program accesses a folder at my web host and if it finds a text file (.txt) with the filename identical to the user's IP address then it is a user that I am allowing to use the program. So to set it up all you have to do to add a new authorized user is to create a text file in that specified folder at your web host named after that user's IP address (ex: 68.157.149.73.txt) where 68.157.149.73 is the user's IP address. The only downside is that it requires you to ask and keep track of each person's IP address by saving it somewhere. The obvious advantage of this is of course that the program can't be used by anyone that is not accessing the internet from IP addresses that you have it setup for. Basically leeching = not happening.

-Too much

Easily crackable, poorly made system. Enough said.




Do a combination of these things, then mix it with a rotating algorithm.

Overkill for people here, but if you ever want to sell something, lock it down good and hard.

What kind of problems do you foresee?

for 1, people that don't have static ip's won't be able to use your system.

What covey said, and...


If your program is simply connecting to a text file, no matter where it's located, and returns a set value, it can be rerouted to a local file, or one on your local webspace containing the data needed to gain access to the program.


There are many other methods that can also be used: Direct hex editing, asm memory manipulation, etc. The list goes on...

Could use this, filled in usernames and passwords as example:

<!-- Begin

function Login(form) {
username = new Array("pam","ces","DexionNSW","Fran","Sherri","C/All","CENTRAL","C/LOUIS","BECKINS","Guy","C/Vicins","C/Victory","Universa","Ansten","Jurgen","Grahame","EuroD","Current","Handyang","Hender","DexionD","Munn","JSCabine","Newp","Compss","Onestop","Murrindi","Bannibb","bardicorp","Bettac","Storwell","Anning","FAHI","cjf","C/Okelly","Metrix","C/Water","Newway","C/Wooden","Creative","AGECAB","PNW","RACCOM","AZONIC","WOODFINE","GRSCAB","HAMPTO","COUPLA","CLAYTONS","EMULATIO","ULTRA","MAJON","C/FISHER","C/CGSCON","HOUPIS","BTS","FINANCEI","C/SIMRON","CITYLIFE","kubantid","Anthony","pkf","Robotunits");
password = new Array("holden","gm12","Dexionns","fbe","shakai","Sarris","Rod","Louis","Jenkins","gl","Brad","Pohl","Perez","Thek","jscab","water","euro","maryke","Storm","Grant","Tom","Lesily","js","kr","Wayne","Carmen","Ridd","Steve","Chris","Stuart","Gary","Garry","4003","chris","pjokelly","chbarton","GWaterson","JGhirxi","Watterson","Pandur","Con","ADAMS","HOTTON","THOMSON","JOHN","GRS","YAPP","COUPLAND","EARL","ELLEMOR","BONNICI","MKIT","FISHER","GLEN","TOM","TRIPPETT","SUDA","RON","GRAHAM","axle69","Bulldo","letmein","men03");

Not bad but he doesn't want the user, passwords to be in the code itself. He wants them to be accessed remotely.
