@frank-dspeed WOW. the rest of the "security community" ... you know the ones who came up with the hash{password + salt}...will tell you to NEVER use a home grown, black box, custom crypto function. Security by Obscurity is a failure.

Also SHA-256 is a hashing function too FAST and therefore will give the attacker an advantage when brute forcing. There are other slower algorithms (PKBDF2, bcrypt) designed for this is exact purpose.

If you are a god please release your amazing algorithm on github. Cryptography Experts can verify your greatness.

Originally I would give this article 5/10. Your comments drop it to a 2/10.
