pwhash

A Python3 script to hash passwords (SHA512) and optionally verify the password works against the hash that was generated.

Usage:

Run pwhash and follow the prompt for the password you wish to hash (will not echo).

Or pwhash will also take the password from STDIN.

Example 1, passwords match or skip verification

$ ./pwhash
Password:
$6$oEJApLSD7lRkNwo1$aCL3u.dkvhf1VQj9kl1.wASPafNPY9.pWCor03Gn/Zx3A.XDbN7n0ZB/f3gsKlZbnBaf.Hnnn.MQ04.1zmx0x.
Verify Password (Optional):

Example 2, passwords do not match

$ ./pwhash
Password:
$6$i7HX2zxZlro.lSFx$lihoVkch.IGMR.Zm5umh0s8zj6YYXna.YYBu6S5vtHYB7/oi6LURwkPUKHQuzg902FS8mxJrp9Ru0TJh2ihRQ.
Verify Password (Optional):
Passwords did not match!

Example 3, use STDIN

$ echo "test" | ./pwhash
$6$l9nU.NJUuJYxHmOr$O/xlOQPnVrv48BI1zkVkWXusBz5z74K0AAt0bc3cA/AHSWHP06lA/xwiiyhMX/.sQL.vcwjMemhFZTm6duj0h.

If you do not enter the password a second time it is OK, just press enter and the command will exit.

If you enter the password a second time and it does match, the command will exit silently.

If you enter the password a second time and it does not match, the command will tell you "Passwords did not match!"
