To work around this, a common approach is to hash a -password with a cryptographic hash (such as ``sha256``) and then hex or base64 -encoding it to prevent NULL byte problems before hashing the result with +password with a cryptographic hash (such as ``sha256``) and then base64 +encode it to prevent NULL byte problems before hashing the result with ``bcrypt``: .. code:: pycon >>> password = b"an incredibly long password" * 10 >>> hashed = bcrypt.hashpw( - ... hashlib.sha256(password).hexdigest(), + ... base64.b64encode(hashlib.sha256(password).digest()), ... bcrypt.gensalt() ... ) |
