Hello, I'm looking for so help, i've come across a user table within SQL 2008 that contains two columns "Pwd" & "Key" and concerned they may contain our users Active Directory credentials. The Pwd column contains what appears to be a 40 character hash (uppercase) and the Key column has a random 8 character key that ends in "=". I've tried running the Pwd string through crackstation.net but to not avail. The same user tables also contains a column for username and full name. I guess with the recent Linkedin and Philips hack I may be a little over paranoid. Could someone point me in the right direction on what I can to do validate this information?
