Alex has an interesting new paper on modplsq and mod_plsql passwords



I just saw that Alex Kornbrust has added a new paper on his site in the Whitepaper and Presentations section. This paper is titled "Fact Sheet about Oracle Mod_PLSQL Passwords".

This is an excellent short paper that describes details of the MODPLSQL and MOD_PLSQL passwords including details of the encryption algorithms used, the location of the encrypted passwords, how to change a password and also importantly how to decrypt a password. Alex finishes with some examples.
