[issue22432] function crypt not working on OSX
New submission from Mark Wieczorek: Hi, I just wanted to let you know of a bug that is related to the function crypt in osx (10.9.4). I have tried the default osx version of python (2.75), the brew version (2.7.8), and the macports version (2.7.7). In short, the command python -c 'import crypt; print crypt.crypt(test12345, $6$salt)' produces the output : $6n8sgZJBMh4U The correct output should be $6$salt$omHbK1V1Alwa0VKXqLaW38vdS1uUhfx8GTj7XXCJcNUJxABwmYe8Vhpyt2tnnaAFC6UTI7PNk9sTtSGWGnYop. I have no idea what the problem is. -- assignee: ronaldoussoren components: Macintosh messages: 227002 nosy: lunokhod, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: function crypt not working on OSX type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22432 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Geoffrey Spear added the comment: The same behavior exists in Python 3, however, I'm not sure it's a bug. The documentation says The characters in salt must be in the set [./a-zA-Z0-9]. Presumably the behavior when there is a $ in the salt is undefined by Python, and different on different platforms. -- nosy: +geoffreyspear ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22432 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Mark Wieczorek added the comment: It actually doesn't even matter what you use for salt. If you change salt, you get the same hash. That is bug #2 ! -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22432 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Geoffrey Spear added the comment: This is actually the expected behavior of crypt(3) on OS X. It doesn't support the $id$ modular format, and if the salt does not begin with an underscore only the first 2 bytes are used (presumably in your bug #2 you're changing parts of the salt beyond the first 2 bytes.) Python's behavior differing based on the underlying C library on the system is documented; this is neither a bug in Python or in OS X crypt (although it could be argued that OS X crypt is kind of useless and insecure...) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22432 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
