password-ery

echo 'some-password' | mkpasswd --stdin --method=sha-512 --salt="$(tr -dc '[:alnum:]' </dev/urandom | head -c16)"

# What is this?

# Get 16 teaspoons of salt
$ od -tx1 -N15 -An </dev/urandom | tr -dc '[:xdigit:]'

# >16 is too many
echo 'some-password' | mkpasswd --stdin --method=sha-512 --salt="$(tr -dc '[:alnum:]' </dev/urandom)"
Wrong salt length: 32 bytes when 8 <= n <= 16 expected.

# Mix well with hashed browns
echo 'hashed browns' | mkpasswd --stdin --method='sha-512' --salt='<PASTE OUTPUT FROM OD HERE>'

# Notes:
# Go to the grocery store and get 1 lb of mkpasswd 
sudo apt-get install whois

# Because
$ dpkg -S $(command -v mkpasswd)
whois: /usr/bin/mkpasswd

Yay!

We should probably move everything to gitlab.
