H.rb

Small tool that generates salted hashes, scented with the SHA-256 hash function.

I prefer to put makeup on passwords rather than yield them to Manager™.

$ gem install h

H reads its configuration from the ~/.h file at initialization. This file, which should be readable by its owner only, have the salt value.

Generate a digest from the system:

$ echo "my-secret" > ~/.h

$ h p@ssw0rd
+KsELdbw7gM0e2lQsnCskf1albEXgl9MtXgrmvYkIaM=

$ h シークレット
NaNvnGJGWWzzU9DlRSRKZQQER1/9/libXrrghMgBWbU=

Same operations, with Ruby:

require "h"

builder = H::Builder.new("my-secret")

builder.call("p@ssw0rd") # => "+KsELdbw7gM0e2lQsnCskf1albEXgl9MtXgrmvYkIaM="
builder.call("シークレット") # => "NaNvnGJGWWzzU9DlRSRKZQQER1/9/libXrrghMgBWbU="
