Consider this Shadow string
$y$j9T$PaFEMV0mbpeadmHDv0Lp31$G/LliR3MqgdjEBcFC1E.s/3vlRofsZ0Wn5JyZHXAol5
There are 4 parts
- id : y (yescrypt)
- param : j9T
- salt : PaFEMV0mbpeadmHDv0Lp31
- hash : G/LliR3MqgdjEBcFC1E.s/3vlRofsZ0Wn5JyZHXAol5
**Q:**
1. What does j9T
in param field mean?
2. Are there other options in this field?
3. Where can we find official documentation?
I've seen this question; The format of encrypted password in /etc/shadow
, however, there is no explanation there.
