Stale sa tu obajavuje, ze salt su iba 2 znaky (niekto)
dokonca tvrdil, ze videl 3. 

Nuz ja som sa docital, ze su to "obvykle" 2 znaky a 
zrejme nic nebrani, aby ich bolo viac.  

Na URL http://nmrc.org/faqs/hackfaq/hackfaq-4.html
som dokonca nasiel:
4.6 What is a "salt"? 

To increase the overhead in cracking passwords, some
algorithms employ salts to add further complexity and
difficulty to the
cracking of passwords. These salts are typically 2 to 8
bytes in length, and algorithmically introduced to further
obfuscate the
one-way hash. On the major operating system covered here,
only NT does not use a salt. The specifics for salts for
both Unix
and Netware systems are covered in their individual password
sections. 

Takze ako to je? 

Zdravi
