# pbkdf2
PBKDF2 hashing for Bash
## USAGE
```
$ bash pbkdf2.sh *hashtype* *salt* *password* *iterations* *{raw/full/rawfull}*
```
or
```
$ ./pbkdf2.sh *hashtype* *salt* *password* *iterations* *{raw/full/rawfull}*
```
### hashtype *string*
Options: md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, blake2b, blake2s, sha3_224, sha3_256, sha3_384, sha3_512, shake_128, shake_256
### salt *string*
This must be a predefind string of A-Z, a-z and 0-9.
### password *string*
This must be a predefind string of A-Z, a-z and 0-9.
### iterations *integer*
Range 1 to 2147483647. The higher the integer the more secure but at the cost of time.
### {raw/full/rawfull} *optional*
This is optional. By default you will get a hash string followed by a new line. If you do not want the new line, say to use in a variable, then use 'raw' to get just the hash in hex. However if you use 'full', you will get a string that can be used to input into a database with a new line at the end. Use 'rawfull' to return the string without the new line.
# What is PBKDF2?
> PBKDF2 applies a pseudorandom function, such as hash-based message authentication code (HMAC), to the input password or passphrase along with a salt value and repeats the process many times to produce a derived key, which can then be used as a cryptographic key in subsequent operations. The added computational work makes password cracking much more difficult, and is known as key stretching.
*[Source: Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2)*
PBKDF2 is used in many applications where a password needs to be stored for future verification. Unlike just using a straight Hashing Algorithm, PBKDF2 uses a "salt" along side the password, and rehashes repeatedly according to the number of "iterations".

# DONATIONS
Please consider making me small donation. Even though my scripts are open source and free to use, I still need to eat. And the occasional bottle of wine also goes down well.
- $5 buys me a cup of coffee
- $10 buys me a nice burger
- $20 buys me a bottle of wine
- Anything above that will be awesome as well.
