use encrypted passwords

[Evoferry]

Dear TeamSpeak-Team,

Bots can query the encrypted passwords from channels but they can't set them. If they do the channel will use the encrypted password as the real one. The channel doesn't decrypt it. To set the encrypted one would be very helpful for an automated channel creation. I hope that this function will be implemented.

Best regards

Backing that suggestion.

I really don't support this suggestion.

You can set a new password without problems, just send the raw password and the server will encode it, if you provide a hash you have to use it as password, this is normal the server encode the submitted string.

I don't know wich algo is used, but the password seem hashed, so it can't be reverted, if you want know each channel password you have to store them in other place like a json file.

Set a new password


Set a hash as password


The password used is mypassword

We all know what you posted. OP and I do not want to know the password. We want to set a hash as password to make software that copies channels and channel properties, but with passwords, we can't because we cannot set hashes as password.

In fact when you hash a password you have to use a random salt, if the devs do their job correctly each channel got his own salt, so you can't be able to use the same hash on multiple channels using client/serverquery.

The only (good) way is allowing the subchannel to inherit the parent channel hash/salt without set it up, just disable password field and use a placeholder wich inform the client when this option is enabled.

Passwords are just SHA1 without salt, so your argument is invalid.
