PasswordCheck

A Go Lang implementation of a CLI password checker in Windows

• setPass.go - allows you to set a password, which will be stored in a txt file
  • password is hashed by SHA512 hash function and PBKDF2 algorithm
• checkPass.go - allows you to enter a string to verify with setted password

Notes

• Needs a Go Lang Compiler (https://golang.org/dl/)
• Set Go to PATH

Running

• Run setPass.go (by typing go run setPass.go in command line)

  • The salt of PBKDF2 can be chaged manually in code

• If some libraries are not installed, type: go get [library name]

• It will create a file 'index.txt' with the salt and password

• Then run checkPass.go (by typing go run checkPass.go in command line)

• You can create an executable by building it: (go build checkPass.go)
