Hi!
I'm playing around with the Autocomplete feature of IE8.
Problem is:
I have 2 possible approaches and no further information on any of them.
Approach 1:
the key to the encrypted Password is the SHA1 hash of the url
plus a single char made up from adding the 20 chars,
and putting this char in place 1.
Approach 2:
SHA1 hash and the CRC from this hash.

There are 2 Problems with this:
1.Approach 1 does not yield the value I find in my registry
2.Approach 2 raises the question what the polynom for generating the crcvalue is supposed to look like.
So I am probably missing some piece of information here.
Any information on this approach is apprechiated.
Sincerly

P.s.:Below is a codesnippet of my approach.
Code:
.... 
array<BYTE> ^url = {.......}; 
SHA1 ^hash = gcnew SHA1CryptoServiceProvicer; 
array<BYTE> ^thehash; 
unsigned char firstchar = 0;  
thehash = hash->ComputeHash(url);  
for each(BYTE b in thehash)      
       firstchar += b; 
..... ....
//edit:
Just edited this so that JS can format the post probably.
