package main
import (

)
func main() {
password := "SecretPassword123"
salt := "rq" // 2 characters
// Generate DES crypt hash
hash, err := descrypt.DESCryptHash(password, salt)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Hash:", hash) // e.g. "rq/N3gSWdwWeA"
// Verify password

} else {
fmt.Println("Password verified!")
}
}DESCryptHash(password, salt string) (string, error)- Computes the DES crypt(3) hash for a password and 2-character salt. Returns a 13-character string (2-char salt + 11-char hash).
DESPasswordVerify(inputPassword, storedHash string) error- Verifies a password against a traditional DES crypt hash (13 chars). Returns nil if the password matches, or an error if not.
DES is considered cryptographically broken and unsuitable for further use. This library is provided only for legacy compatibility. Do not use for new applications or to protect sensitive data.
