Python function equivalent to Crypt in PHP

I have a program in PHP that encrypts a password with the method crypt:

$crypt = '$1$/E0xe3/3$yPzJElk.aVSd5JoQTopDZ/';
if($crypt == crypt($_POST['key'],$crypt))

And with that I get the following hash of that password:

*$1$Mmd/1SKE$bE44ZNJgYXDjm10rUHC5L1*

I wanted to generate the same hash in Python, but I don’t know how.

The command:

 *cat /etc/login.defs | grep ^ENCRYPT_METHOD*

Returns (*ENCRYPT_METHOD SHA512*)

    You can use the lib hashlib to generate hashs of the type he exemplified.

  • I was able to solve the problem by defining salt with crypt.crypt

import crypt

hash = '$1$/E0xe3/3$yPzJElk.aVSd5JoQTopDZ/'
crypt.crypt('marcus.mann', hash)

  • Could add an explanation of your code?

  • It first defines what it wants to encrypt in the case of 'Marcus.mann' and soon after it defines the salt or "method" of encryption that will be used
