Hello,
Is there a way I can encrypt the default password column of db user password. I know by default the password is encrypted as md5, can we encrypt that of shadow column for password?
MD5 is a
one-way hash, not an encryption scheme. Thus, the password cannot be reverse-computed from the MD5 hash value. So, you're (kinda) safe, although an attacker could determine the password through brute-force calculation of hashes.
