dircproxy-crypt(1) General Commands Manual dircproxy-crypt(1)NAME
dircproxy-crypt - Generate encrypted password for dircproxy
SYNOPSIS
dircproxy-crypt [-hv] [password]...
DESCRIPTION
dircproxy-crypt generates encrypted passwords for the dircproxy(1) configuration file. These passwords are used in the 'password' configu-
ration option of a connection class, and are compared to the password you configure your IRC client to use.
If you do not supply any plain text passwords to encrypt on the command line then dircproxy-crypt, when run, will ask you for one on stan-
dard input. It will display the encrypted version of each password, created using your system's crypt(3) function and a random salt, on
standard output.
OPTIONS -h Displays a brief help message detailing the command-line arguments, then exits.
-v Displays the dircproxy version number that this version of dircproxy-crypt comes with, then exits.

crypt - generate hashing encryption
SYNOPSIS
Obsolescent Interfaces
DESCRIPTION
crypt():
is the password encryption function. It is based on a one way hashing encryption algorithm with variations intended (among other things)
to frustrate use of hardware implementations of a key search.
key is a user's typed password. salt is a two-character string chosen from the set this string is used to perturb the hashing algorithm in
one of 4096 different ways, after which the password is used as the key to encrypt repeatedly a constant string. The returned value points
to the encrypted password. The first two characters are the salt itself.
Obsolescent Interfaces
generate hashing encryption.
WARNINGS
The return value for points to data whose content is overwritten by each call.
and are obsolescent interfaces supported only for compatibility with existing DCE applications. New multithreaded applications should use

Hi,
Is there a way of executing encrypted files? I have encrpyted files using vi and crypt, but when I execute the encrypted file, it takes the contents literally (special characters, junk - encrpyted format).
Kind Regards,

Hi
My aim is to encrypt a text file using a key.

I've been using various versions of UNIX and Linux since 1993, and I've never run across one that showed your password as you type it in when you log in, or one that stored passwords in plain text rather than encrypted. I'm writing a script for work for a security audit, and two of the... (5 Replies)
I know that simply encrypting and decrypting passwords in a script is as bad as storing them in plain text, but I've been searching for an answer to this for a few days now, and haven't found an answer that fits the problem I'm having.
Here's the scenario. I'll give more details than I think may... (3 Replies)
