Bcrypt Hash & Verify — Ruby source
Hash a password with bcrypt or verify a password against an existing bcrypt hash. Configurable cost factor. Runs entirely in your browser.
This is the Ruby implementation — the same logic the interactive tool runs, in a shareable, citable form.
# bcrypt — Blowfish-based password hashing, from scratch.
#
# Language: Ruby (3.x, standard library only — securerandom for the salt;
# the algorithm itself is plain Ruby, no gems, no OpenSSL)
# Source: CosmoDev polyglot showcase port of the bcrypt tool, ported from
# src/lib/bcrypt.ts (the canonical TypeScript implementation).
# License: display source — part of CosmoDev's polyglot tool pages.
#
# Implements the full algorithm from the Provos-Mazieres paper (USENIX '99):
# EksBlowfish key setup, the 64-fold encryption of "OrpheanBeholderScryDoubt",
# and OpenBSD's $2b$ hash format. Produces hashes that interoperate with bcrypt
# implementations everywhere (the same OpenBSD/Go reference vectors the TS
# suite pins).
#
# The Blowfish P-array (18 words) and S-boxes (4 x 256 words) are the first
# 8336 hex digits of the fractional part of pi, stored below as hex strings and
# parsed once into integer arrays at load time.
#
# Ruby integers are arbitrary-precision, so every 32-bit operation is masked
# with MASK explicitly — the counterpart to TypeScript's `>>> 0`.
