NAME

crypt_sunmd5– password hashing module using MD5 message hash algorithm

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/security/$ISA/crypt_sunmd5.so

DESCRIPTION

The crypt_sunmd5 module is a one-way password hashing module for use with crypt(3C) that uses the MD5 message hash algorithm. The algorithm identifier for crypt.conf(4) and policy.conf(4) is md5.

This module is designed to make it difficult to crack passwords that use brute force attacks based on high speed MD5 implementations that use code inlining, unrolled loops, and table lookup.
