NAME

6       radcrypt  -  generate password hash for use with radius, or validates a
7       password hash
8

SYNOPSIS

10       radcrypt   [-d|--des]   [-m|--md5]   [-c|--check]    plaintext_password
11       [hashed_password]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       radcrypt generates a hashed digest of a plaintext password, or can val‐
15       idate if a password hash matches a  plaintext  password.  DES  and  MD5
16       hashes  are currently supported. When generating a password hash a ran‐
17       dom salt is generated and applied.
18
19       A hashed password can be validated by  specifying  -c  or  --check  and
20       passing  hashed_password  after plaintext_password on the command line.
21       In this case hashed_password will be  checked  to  see  if  it  matches
22       plaintext_password.  If  so  "Password OK" will be printed and the exit
23       status will be 1, otherwise "Password BAD" will  be  printed  and  exit
24       status  will  be  0  (Note  this is the opposite of a normal successful
25       shell status).

OPTIONS

29       -d --des
30              Use a DES (Data Encryption Standard) hash (default).  Ignored if
31              performing a password check.
32
33       -m --md5
34              Use  a  MD5  (Message  Digest  5) hash.  Ignored if performing a
35              password check.
36
37       -c --check
38              Perform a validation check on a password hash to  verify  if  it
39              matches the plantext password.
