$ npm install -g bcrypt-util
Generate a BCrypt hash:
$ bcrypt hash 'raw text' $2a$10$O.YQ9gpS1ruOIBECVs5cFe9znc1NspGnRZJ.NRZtgxGkJqgSqlgTG
$ bcrypt hash 'raw text' 10 $2a$10$O.YQ9gpS1ruOIBECVs5cFe9znc1NspGnRZJ.NRZtgxGkJqgSqlgTG
Compare a BCrypt hash:
$ bcrypt compare 'raw text' '$2a$10$O.YQ9gpS1ruOIBECVs5cFe9znc1NspGnRZJ.NRZtgxGkJqgSqlgTG' true
$ make test
Besides incorporating a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks, bcrypt is an adaptive function: over time, the iteration count can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with increasing computation power.
