1) Don't use anything fast (like md5) to hash your passwords. Use many-rounds of md5 or sha-1, or use something specifically designed for password hashing like eksblowfish

2) Don't escape your SQL, use parameterized queries


How good is md5 plus a 4-character (digits, actually, in the slides) salt?
