radcrypt8
Generate password hash for use with radius, or validates a password hash
Usage
radcrypt [{-d | --des}]
[{-m | --md5}]
[{-c | --check}]
plaintext_password
[hashed_password]
Overview
radcrypt generates a hashed digest of a plaintext password, or can validate if a password hash matches a plaintext password. DES and MD5 hashes are currently supported. When generating a password hash a random salt is generated and applied.
A hashed password can be validated by specifying -c or --check and passing hashed_password after plaintext_password on the command line. In this case hashed_password will be checked to see if it matches plaintext_password. If so "Password OK" will be printed and the exit status will be 1, otherwise "Password BAD" will be printed and exit status will be 0 (Note this is the opposite of a normal successful shell status).
Options
-
-d --des -
Use a DES (Data Encryption Standard) hash (default). Ignored if performing a password check.
-
-m --md5 -
Use a MD5 (Message Digest 5) hash. Ignored if performing a password check.
-
-c --check -
Perform a validation check on a password hash to verify if it matches the plantext password.
Examples
$ radcrypt foobar HaX0xn7Qy650Q $ radcrypt -c foobar HaX0xn7Qy650Q Password OK
