A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
Fork of passlib, a comprehensive password hashing framework supporting over 30 schemes
This is a fork of https://foss.heptapod.net/python-libs/passlib
Passlib is a password hashing library for Python 3, which provides cross-platform implementations of over 30 password hashing algorithms, as well as a framework for managing existing password hashes. It's designed to be useful for a wide range of tasks, from verifying a hash found in /etc/shadow, to providing full-strength password hashing for multi-user application.
pip install libpass
A quick example of using passlib to integrate into a new application:
from passlib.context import CryptContext
context = CryptContext(
schemes=["sha512_crypt"]
)
hash = context.hash("password")
# $6$rounds=656000$jFKvvPmUywlqjSs.$iNeK/OWVry7KThNyzR01xzqZzgk/VA75.sR4yXXblsPAoEugtdO3zn/O4VEG3Izp8l5.//lMGpuRCOqvKknHo1
# Verifying a password
is_valid = context.verify("password", hash) # True
