Gawker uses a really outdated hashing algorithm known as DES (Data Encryption Standard).
Because DES has a maximum of 8chars using a password like "abcdefgh1234" only the first 8 characters "abcdefgh" are encrypted and stored in the database. If your password is longer than 8 characters you only need to enter the first 8 characters to log in!
I'll be making a fresh thread with a ton of info shortly
