openssl passwd crypt algorithm and salting function












0















I have been playing around with the command:



$openssl passwd -crypt -salt


And I really need to see the actual code for which the crypt algorithm and the function for salting the user's input password prior to it's encryption.



Where or how do I view documentation relating to these codes and the code themselves?



Also I was wondering if there is a package that I can modify these definitions so I can discover how all the different flavours of spam are made

          You can get the source via apt-get source openssl. Documentation? That's what search engines are for.
