oper hash module (InspIRCd-oper hash version)
| 1.0 Documentation | 1.1 Documentation | 1.2 Documentation |
| Description
|
| Allows oper passwords to be hashed using a secure hashing algorithm rather than stored in plaintext. |
| Configuration Tags
|
To use this module, you must add the a value like the following to every oper in your configuration file that you want to have a hashed password:
<oper name="Brain" host="*@*" type="NetAdmin" hash="md5" password="ad0234829205b9033196ba818f7a872b"> The value for 'hash'may be either md5 or sha256, to select either MD5 hashing (less secure) or SHA256 hashing (more secure). |
| Additional Modes
|
| This module does not implement any extra user or channel modes. |
| Additional Commands
|
This module adds the following command:
/MKPASSWD <hash> <plaintext> Encodes <plaintext> to a hash using the hashing algorithm <hash> and displays the result. |
| Special Notes
|
| This module will operate alongside plaintext passwords. To use hashes simply replace the plaintext password in <oper:password> with the hash MKPASSWD gives you.
Please note that once you move ALL your oper passwords to hashes, you will be unable to oper up without this module loaded -- if you unload it, you will be left unable to reload it if you lose oper status. This module can enumerate any module which implements the HashRequest interface. Currently, this includes m_sha256.so and m_md5.so |
| Dependencies
|
| The SHA256 Service Provider Module and/or the MD5 Service Provider Module |
