Hi,
I'm wanting to request the user to enter a password. This password must then be passed onto another application as an argument. Is there any way to ensure this is secure? Is it possible to view this password while my program is executing the other application with the password as an argument?
It's just as easy as reading the memory of a program that keeps the password for itself.
So I shouldn't worry about it because there's little I can do...is that the final word? I'll lay out the steps just in case...
1. Run my gui app
2. User enters password (123456789)
3. My gui app sends this command to the host 'application 123456789'
If you hash it and compare it to a pre-hashed password that would be more secure too
