NAME
radcrypt - generate password hash for use with radius, or validates a
password hash
SYNOPSIS
radcrypt [-d|--des] [-m|--md5] [-c|--check] plaintext_password
[hashed_password]
DESCRIPTION
radcrypt generates a hashed digest of a plaintext password, or can val-
idate if a password hash matches a plaintext password. DES and MD5
hashes are currently supported. When generating a password hash a ran-
dom 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
