I’ve migrated the SecCheck security auditing tool for Solaris 10 over to the new zazzybob.com site. You can view the Project page here.

Cheers,

Generate hashed passwords

November 3rd, 2009 admin No comments

Another OpenSSL related tip.

If you’ve ever wanted to generate a hashed password suitable for inclusion in the /etc/shadow file (for example, during post-install procedures such as sysidcfg), you can use the openssl passwd command

$ openssl passwd
Password:
Verifying - Password:
HaShEdPaSsCoMeSoUt

Checking md5 sum on Solaris 10

November 3rd, 2009 admin No comments

If you don’t have the md5sum utility installed, just use the digest tool supplied with Solaris 10

$ digest -a md5 -v /bin/ls
md5 (/bin/ls) = b57e173220af4b919f1d4bef9db11482

Cheers,
Kevin
