Hello all, what sort of crazy bug would make Tor give different hashes for the same password?
$ tor --hash-password hello 16:735E6FA5355D4146606AFE25B61B411DF419878C99705164D038FC99BC $ tor --hash-password hello 16:8201E7D35BB8CACB60BF8947B49A3480BA1A17E77EDA8BE45790746884 $ tor --version Tor version 0.3.1.7 (git-6babd3d9ba9318b3).
This is normal behaviour for salted hashes.
But which one then goes in the torrc?
Either. If one doesn't work, that's a bug (or there's an extra space in the password).
Right, got it - the salt is stored in that string too. My password stopped working, so I was trying to check the hash and of course got a different result. That leaves the original puzzle of why the password stopped working...Thanks!
