TIL that #debian now uses #yescrypt as the default algorithm to store user password

After seeing yescrypt hashes appear in CMIYC a while back, I started developing a yescrypt cracker in pure Go. Since then, yescrypt has become the default /etc/shadow hash for many popular linux distros such as Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, Fedora, and Arch (to name a few), but hash cracking support for this algo has been limited to JtR -- until now.

Here's a sneak peek of the yescrypt_cracker POC:

I was late on with catching up with new default password hashing algorithm "yescrypt", but I wanted to use the new default the only thing is that I have been modified my /etc/login.defs and a couple of changes needed to be done to some of the files in the /etc/pam.d directory, namely "passwd, su and su-l".

Native Go implementation of yescrypt password hashing algorithm, the default for many current Linux distros, now available: https://www.openwall.com/lists/announce/2024/08/21/1

Didn't realize that #archlinux moved from #SHA512 to #yescrypt for password hashing. Makes sense seeing that #Fedora has for awhile now.
@Xavier Yeah, I saw that Fedora has made yescrypt the default now with their workstation iso (I'm assuming it's the same for the spins too) so I was just wondering what others, with much more knowledge on it than I, thought about it. From what I've read #yescrypt is the way to go.
@thelinuxfraud So just for your local pam_unix? #yescrypt
