This is a native javascript implementation of Unix/Linux compatible password hashing. The currently implemented variants include MD5 ($1$), SHA256 ($5$), and SHA512 ($6$).
The ones missing are
Should some brave soul implement any or all of above, they will be accepted.
const up = require('unixpass');
// Returns password hash using SHA256
up.crypt('mypassword', '$5$saltsaltmoresalt');
// Returns a password hash with autogenerated salt using SHA512
up.hash('mypassword');
// Returns true if password matches hash, false otherwise
up.hash('mypassword', '$1$saltsalt$dfhjlwheucnsdicbnwuibnwicb');
