CakePHP 2.x Security Salt and CipherSeed Generator

A Salt and CipherSeed generator that regenerates at every refresh

Instructions:
  1. Open your CakePHP's app/Config/core.php file.
  2. Locate the following lines of code:
    /**
    * A random string used in security hashing methods.
    */
    ...
  3. Replace both Security.salt and Security.cipherSeed with the generated code down below.
  4. Be safe by not using the default salt and cipher!
/**
* A random string used in security hashing methods.
*/
    Configure::write('Security.salt', 'RbHf0qN9BVnkReF8FZ6x2Rij1wdomORj0q2ECJTynC0DJhQ44c3lAA0q5rwaP96K');

/**
* A random numeric string (digits only) used to encrypt/decrypt strings.
*/
    Configure::write('Security.cipherSeed', '5865819169719269360112935421562426601678');
