Go Django Hashers

Go implementation of password hashers used in Django

Implemented hashers:

• pbkdf2_sha256
• pbkdf2_sha1
• sha1
• md5
• unsalted_sha1
• unsalted_md5

Unsalted hashers are not allowed by hashers.MakePassword function. You can use them just with hashers.CheckPassword.

Hashers based on bcrypt are not implemented because golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt is not yet compatible with Python's bcrypt.

By default hashers.MakePassword is using pbkdf2_sha256 hasher. If you really want to change it (i.e. when you want to have passwords compatible with Django 1.3 or older), you can set hashers.DefaultHasher variable to one of supported hashers:

hashers.DefaultHasher = "sha1"

Installation

go get -u github.com/meehow/go-django-hashers

Usage

Usage is quite straightforward and simple.
