I've worked as a sysadmin for 4 years and was recently offered a position as IT security consultant, and I don't know how password hashing works. (Don't worry, I rejected the position)

Thank you for not becoming yet another turtle on a post.

Plus it wasn't even how the hashing works, just explaining how a system can check if a password is correct without decrypting the password. They're getting millions of my tax dollars to build this IT system for the military and they don't even understand that one-way hashes exist.
