unusual hashing scheme, not designed for passwords but for sending client ID's publicly in shorter strings, adds random bytes to a truncated sha256

def myhash(data, iv_length=8, hash_length=16):
    '''
    my hash scheme made to behave somewhat like bcrypt by having an IV
    this is randomly generated and attached to the front of the hash, it is also injected into the sha256 hash
    this ensures the hash is generated different
    the hash is designed to obscure some operating information of my covert software where bcrypt would be the best choice but is too long

    the default setting is 8 bytes of IV randomness, 16 bytes of a sha256, making a total of 24 bytes or 48 hex chars in a string


    this is possibly the shortest hash that has a random output, another alternative would be using AES, encrypt 0000s with password

    print('hash complexity:', 2**(hash_length * 8))
    print('hash random permutations:', 2**(iv_length * 8))
    m = hashlib.sha256()
    iv = Random.new().read(iv_length)  # generate radom bytes to pass through hash before the data
    m.update(iv)
    m.update(data)
    m = m.digest()
    m = iv + m[0:hash_length]
    print('generated myhash:', m.encode('hex'))
    print('length = {} bytes, {} hex chars'.format(len(m), len(m) * 2))
    return m


def myhash_checkpw(password, hashed_password, iv_length=8, hash_length=16):
    m = hashlib.sha256()
    iv = hashed_password[0:iv_length]
    hashed_password = hashed_password[iv_length:]
    m.update(iv)
    m.update(password)
    m = m.digest()[0:hash_length]

    return hashed_password == m

    pass


s = 'hashme'
s_hash = myhash(s)
print(myhash_checkpw(s, s_hash)) #confirm match
print(myhash_checkpw(s, 'd85fafd83a089773d6ab450b4529a1e7a06b49afebcc375b'.decode('hex'))) #and also this key i made earlier

has a dependancy on pycrypto, this can easily be changed to raw python for no library dependancies
