sha512crypt implementation for node
===================================

This implements the sha512crypt algorithm as described in
http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
in pure javascript. 

Its available in npm via:
```
$ npm install sha512crypt-node
```

A example how to use it in a html page is provided in doc/demo.html:
```
var hash = sha512crypt(document.forms["pwform"]["password"].value,
                       document.forms["pwform"]["salt"].value);
```


Basic commandline usage:
```
$ ./demo.js pass salt
$6$salt$3aEJgflnzWuw1O3tr0IYSmhUY0cZ7iBQeBP392T7RXjLP3TKKu3ddIapQaCpbD4p9ioeGaVIjOHaym7HvCuUm0

$ python -c 'import crypt; crypt.crypt("pass", "$6$salt")
$6$salt$3aEJgflnzWuw1O3tr0IYSmhUY0cZ7iBQeBP392T7RXjLP3TKKu3ddIapQaCpbD4p9ioeGaVIjOHaym7HvCuUm0
```


Using the "rounds" parameter as part of the salt:
```
$ ./demo.js pass '$6$rounds=1000$salt'
$6$rounds=1000$salt$NqhXojlgP5NLvJojBnjQD87i66jhb8s3bZord3hSZoIgbCJqUfJdp7pclsLBBqgn02fAtd/vn4lieLeX5J.h90

$ python -c 'import crypt; print crypt.crypt("pass", "$6$rounds=1000$salt")'
$6$rounds=1000$salt$NqhXojlgP5NLvJojBnjQD87i66jhb8s3bZord3hSZoIgbCJqUfJdp7pclsLBBqgn02fAtd/vn4lieLeX5J.h90
```
