Tool guide
Bcrypt is a password-hashing function designed by Niels Provos and David Mazières. It is based on the Blowfish cipher and was presented at USENIX in 1999. It incorporates a work factor (cost rounds) and automatically handles random salting, making it exceptionally robust against offline cracking.
Common hash functions like MD5 and SHA-256 are designed to be extremely fast. While great for file verification, they are vulnerable to password cracking. Hackers can check billions of SHA-256 hashes per second using GPUs. Bcrypt is deliberately slow and memory-intensive, slowing down brute-force attacks to a crawl.
Bcrypt's work factor determines how many times the key expansion algorithm runs. Every increment in the rounds doubles the execution time. This "key stretching" is future-proof: as hardware gets faster, developers can simply increase the cost factor rounds to keep cracking attempts impossibly slow.
FAQ
The verifier extracts the salt and cost factor embedded within your existing Bcrypt hash. It then hashes your plaintext password using those identical variables. If the resulting signatures match, the verification is successful.
Our Bcrypt generator runs entirely client-side using JavaScript. Your passwords never cross the network. However, as a best developer practice, never enter active production credentials into any online tool.
Bcrypt utilizes key stretching. Higher round values double the workload exponentially (e.g. 11 rounds is twice as slow as 10). This prevents GPU brute-forcing by making iterations computationally expensive.
