So I ran the mySQL DB connection to the remote host while Etheral was
running, and I captured the authentication packets.
It shows the IP, server, and username in plaintext, but it shows the
password as jumbled characters... I THINK MD5. Yes?
So, I see the password is encrypted before sending! Yeah!
But, if intercepted, can it be cracked?

Thanks for any feedback!
