crypt-unix v0.2.0

crypt-unix

A pure-JavaScript library to provide UNIX/Linux crypt(1). It uses Node's crypto for the cryptography. This tool allows you to generate and verify passwords as used in UNIX's/Linux's /etc/shadow file, or other tools that generate the same format.

The unsupported formats will be added in future releases - v1.0.0 should have all of these formats available.

Export and Example

This file just has the default export: crypt(string password, string salt): boolean.

import crypt from 'crypt-unix';

const hashedPassword = "$6$saltstring$svn8UoSVapNtMuq1ukKS4tPQd8iKwSMHWjl/O817G3uBnIFNjnQJuesI68u4OTLiBFdcbYEdFCoEOfaS35inz1";

function verifyPassword(string enteredPassword): boolean {
  return crypt(enteredPassword, hashedPassword) === hashedPassword;
}
