What's a salt value?

IN3D commented 10 years ago

The salt value is a random value generated uniquely to the user when the password is defined. It can be placed anywhere within the encrypted password. It throws off decryption algorithms because they don't actually align with the algorithm. They can defeat low quality decryption algorithms and at least significantly stall out the better ones.
