Crypt3 is a pure Ruby version of crypt(3) --a salted one-way hashing of a password.
Supported hashing algorithms are: md5, sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512, rmd160. Only the md5 hashing algorithm is standard and compatible with crypt(3); the others are non-standard.
- Standard compliant crypt(3) implementation
- Supports alternate hashing algorithms
- Written in Ruby (but depends on Ruby's standard digest libraries)
To install with RubyGems simply open a console and type:
gem install crypt3
Site installation requires Setup.rb (gem install setup), then download the tarball package and type:
tar -xvzf crypt3-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd crypt3-1.0.0
sudo setup.rb all
Windows users use 'ruby setup.rb all'.
Crypt3 provides a module method call crypt.
Crypt3.crypt('pass')
It will return an encypted string, something like:
'$1$YeNsbWdH$wvOF8JdqsoiLix754LTW90'
The validitly of which can ensured it using check:
Crypt3.check('pass', '$1$YeNsbWdH$wvOF8JdqsoiLix754LTW90')
See the API Documentation for further details and options.
