Hello guys, is it safe to send password from web form to server through TCP socket without hashing it first?
Thanks in advance

Clearly not since it could possibly be cought by specialized programs. A website's FTP details got picked up by WireShark for me once.

No, Try not to specially through web form it's better to send through hashed and as far as i think there won't be any big difference except security issues.
