💅 NAME 💅

eurephia_saltdecode — a lil debug utility for eurephia, bestie 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

eurephia_saltdecode <password hash salt>

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so this program will decode the eurephia password hash you hand it. Iconic, right? But here's the thing — to decode that info correctly you need to know the password for the hash. Like, actually need it. Because the salt is scrambled using data from the user's password, so if you feed it the wrong password the information will come out wrong. No cap, it'll just be wrong. 😭

Also lowkey important: you only need the first 8 bytes of the password hash. That's it. That's the whole ask. 🫶

🌸 EXAMPLE 🌸

user@host: ~ $ eurephia_saltdecode 4d93ea21

You will need to give the correct password for this salt, bestie. If you give the wrong password, the decoded information will be wrong. Periodt. 💀

Password: .........

Salt length: 32 Hash rounds: 21763
