Constructor Detail

Digest

public Digest()

Get a new Digest object.

Method Detail

prefixHash

public void prefixHash(boolean doit)

If set to true, hashes will be prefixed with the type of hash used. (i.e. {SHA}, {SSHA}, etc...).

Parameters:

doit - whether or not to prefix the hash

checkPassword

public boolean checkPassword(String pw,
                             String hash)

Check a plaintext password against a hashed password.

getHash

protected String getHash(String word,
                         byte[] salt)

Get a hash for a String with a known salt. This should only be used for verification, don't be stupid and start handing out words with static salts.

getSaltFreeHashBytes

public byte[] getSaltFreeHashBytes(String s)

Get the hash for a given string (with no salt).

Parameters:

s - the thing to hash

Returns:

the hash

getSaltFreeHash

public String getSaltFreeHash(String s)

Get a hash for a String with no salt. This should only be used for checksumming, not passwords.

getHash

public String getHash(String word)

Get a hash for a given String.

main

public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws Exception

Commandline testing.

Making a password:

net.spy.util.Digest word

Checking a password:

net.spy.util.Digest word hash

Throws:
