Available Packages
Name : libxcrypt
Version : 4.4.18
Release : 3.el9
Architecture : i686
Size : 132 k
Source : libxcrypt-4.4.18-3.el9.src.rpm
Repository : ol9_baseos_latest
Summary : Extended crypt library for descrypt, md5crypt, bcrypt, and others
URL : https://github.com/besser82/libxcrypt
License : LGPLv2+ and BSD and Public Domain
Description : libxcrypt is a modern library for one-way hashing of passwords. It
: supports a wide variety of both modern and historical hashing methods:
: yescrypt, gost-yescrypt, scrypt, bcrypt, sha512crypt, sha256crypt,
: md5crypt, SunMD5, sha1crypt, NT, bsdicrypt, bigcrypt, and descrypt.
: It provides the traditional Unix crypt and crypt_r interfaces, as well
: as a set of extended interfaces pioneered by Openwall Linux, crypt_rn,
: crypt_ra, crypt_gensalt, crypt_gensalt_rn, and crypt_gensalt_ra.
:
: libxcrypt is intended to be used by login(1), passwd(1), and other
: similar programs; that is, to hash a small number of passwords during
: an interactive authentication dialogue with a human. It is not suitable
: for use in bulk password-cracking applications, or in any other situation
: where speed is more important than careful handling of sensitive data.
: However, it is intended to be fast and lightweight enough for use in
: servers that must field thousands of login attempts per minute.
:
: This version of the library does not provide the legacy API functions
: that have been provided by glibc's libcrypt.so.1.
