Understanding Bcrypt
What is Bcrypt?
Bcrypt is a password-hashing function designed by Niels Provos and David Mazières. It's based on the Blowfish cipher and includes a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks.
Key Benefits
- Slow by Design: Prevents brute-force attacks
- Built-in Salt: Protects against rainbow tables
- Future-Proof: Adjustable work factor
- Industry Standard: Widely trusted and tested
Best Practices
- Use a cost factor that makes hashing take about 250ms
- Store the complete hash string including algorithm identifier
- Never truncate the hash output
- Use strong, unique passwords as input
- Regularly review and update cost factors
Hash Format
$2y$10$LQv3c1yqBWVHxkd0LHAkCOYz6TtxMQJqhN8/LcdYaA9Dw.hPki2.q │ │ │ └─────────────────── Hash │ │ └─────────────────── Cost (10) │ └─────────────────── Algorithm Version (2y) └─────────────────── Algorithm Identifier ($2y$)
Remember: Bcrypt is designed to be slow to compute, making it resistant to brute-force attacks. Always use secure methods to store and verify password hashes.
