MySQL UNHEX to text
- by boj
I have a forum application that stores data about users in MySQL. There's a field called 'password' of type 'varbinary(100), with the function UNHEX, and then a string of hexadecimal characters. I was wondering how secure this was, so I googled around trying to find how to convert it to text, and I couldn't find anything.
So my question is as follows: Is it possible to convert this to text? How would one go about doing this?
