💖 SRP-GEN 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is srp-gen from the lsh manuals and she is literally the girl who makes your SRP password verifier. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

srp-gen — generate a password verifier for the SRP protocol.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

srp-gen [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this page is the ✨brief✨ little rundown of the srp-gen command. heads up though: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program doesn't have a manual page at all 😭. instead it's got documentation in the GNU Info format — see below, babe, it's all down there. 🫶

srp-gen is the program that generates a password verifier for the Secure Remote Password protocol. and the verifier? it should be stored as ~/.lsh/srp-verifier on the target (remote) machine — aka the machine you wanna authenticate against using SRP. that's the whole assignment. 💖

want more tea about SRP? go check the "srp" node of the "Getting started" section of the Lsh manual, available via the info system. iykyk. 👑
