Bcrypt

Category: Crypto

Status: Registered and callable in the CyberChef 11.3.0 compatibility inventory.

Input / output: string → string

Background: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt

What it does

bcrypt is a password hashing function designed by Niels Provos and David Mazixe8res, based on the Blowfish cipher, and presented at USENIX in 1999. Besides incorporating a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks, bcrypt is an adaptive function: over time, the iteration count (rounds) can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with increasing computation power. Enter the password in the input to generate its hash.

Note

Status here means the operation name is implemented and callable. It does not by itself promise byte-for-byte parity for every upstream option. See Compatibility and current status for the verified scope and known boundaries.

Arguments and options

Arguments are positional. Keep their order when using bake() or Pipeline.then().

Index	Name	UI type	PyChef default	Accepted values / format
`0`	Rounds	`number`	`10`	A Python integer or floating-point value

Recipe template

Important

This is a call template built from the documented defaults. Replace placeholder values such as empty keys, paths, patterns, or lookup data before running it.

from pychef import bake

input_value = "example"
args = [10]
result = bake(input_value, [{"op": 'Bcrypt', "args": args}])
print(result)

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = [10]
transform = Pipeline().then('Bcrypt', *args)
result = transform("example")

Dedicated operation module

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.bcrypt. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.bcrypt import run

result = run("example", tuple([10]))

pychef.operations.by_operation.bcrypt.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

value (str | bytes)
args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
