The addition of md5 hashing in OLSR for the web gui would be nice. The plugin is already installed. We would basically need to add a checkbox to enable the plugin in the /etc/olsr.conf file, and create a form for user to enter their password to be hashed.
Original Ticket:
Do you plan to include the olsrd secure plugin for the upcoming release? It would be greate. From
http://olsrd.cvs.sourceforge.net/olsrd/olsrd-current/lib/secure/
the changelog:
0.5 - A local MD5 implementation can now be compiled into the plugin so that no external library is needed. Should be great for embedded systems. MD5 might not be super-secure, but hey... it still takes quite some effort to break ;)
The security is not perfect: md5 shared key on all nodes running olsrd. But it's better then nothing.
