How can I prevent hash attacks on my application?

How can I prevent hash attacks on my application?

To prevent hash attacks, you should use strong hashing algorithms like bcrypt or Argon2, and implement salting.

What is salting and why is it important?

Salting adds random data to the input of a hash function, making it harder for attackers to use precomputed hash tables.

Are there any other best practices I should follow?

Yes, regularly update your hashing algorithms, limit login attempts, and monitor for unusual activity.

How often should I update my hashing algorithms?

It's recommended to review and update your hashing algorithms every few years or when vulnerabilities are discovered.
