There is an IP check available to certain developers for checking IPs, however this is only used in limited circumstances. The objection to making this more widely available have been on the grounds of privacy. An IP hash would help this situation by enabling any account to be matched to an IP hash without making the IP publicly available.
The MD5 hash of the combined username, authentication realm and password is calculated. The result is referred to as HA1. The MD5 hash of the combined method and digest URI is calculated, e.g. of "GET" and "/dir/index.html". The result is referred to as HA2.
A pepper adds security to a database of salts and hashes because unless the attacker is able to obtain the pepper, cracking even a single hash is intractable, no matter how weak the original password. Even with a list of (salt, hash) pairs, an attacker must also guess the secret pepper in order to find the password which produces the hash.
To learn a password from a hash is to find a string which, when input into the hash function, creates that same hash. This is the same as inverting the hash function. Though brute-force attacks (e.g. dictionary attacks ) may be used to try to invert a hash function, they can become infeasible when the set of possible passwords is large enough.
Example of a Key Derivation Function chain as used in the Signal Protocol.The output of one KDF function is the input to the next KDF function in the chain. In cryptography, a key derivation function (KDF) is a cryptographic algorithm that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value such as a master key, a password, or a passphrase using a pseudorandom function (which typically uses a ...

In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of guessing passwords [1] protecting a computer system.A common approach (brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available cryptographic hash of the password. [2]
IP traceback is any method for reliably determining the origin of a packet on the Internet. The IP protocol does not provide for the authentication of the source IP address of an IP packet, enabling the source address to be falsified in a strategy called IP address spoofing, and creating potential internet security and stability problems.
