Chapter 3: Weak Password Storage
Requirement
Now that we know our DB is working, it's time to start creating some users. We should have a signup account that create the user.
Development
We create a signup page, a user model and start taking in new users.
Vulnerability
Since we are not thoughtful on what we are doing, we are storing the passwords in plain text. Meaning anyone with access to our DB, or exploiting an SQL injection, as shown in previous chapter, can easily get any user password.
