IPB Password Encryption

[brendan3eb]

I'm attempting to bring together several parts of my site such as the chat, forums, and news areas. I'm running Invision board v2.1.3, and so I figured I'd use this as a sort of "base". At the moment I'm trying to make my own logins on several parts of the site, but it seems that IPB has stopped using md5 for encrypting passwords. I went through the invision source files to look at their login&register files, and it seems they made custom functions called generate_password_salt, generate_compiled_passhash, and generate_auto_log_in_key

But I've pretty much had no luck at understanding how a password is encrypted. If anyone is familiar with how they encrypt, please help me

Those look like custom functions. If you intend to incorporate them in your site and this software is part of your integration then why not just mimic the authentication used in this software you have chosen to implement?
