WordPress Password Hash Generator PHP

WordPress Password Hash Generator PHP. Some of the days I used to google, what kind of mechanism used in WordPress to create a hashing password. Which really people like developer needs to get idea. sometimes, we may need to crack the secret to avoid some critical situations.

So I have found it with help of WordPress to identify the function,  and the class, that they used to make passwords in hashing format.  Which is Blowfish hashing alogritham.

The class is available as opensource for you,  You can get the class from  here.

class PasswordHash {
	var $itoa64;
	var $iteration_count_log2;
	var $portable_hashes;
	var $random_state;

	function PasswordHash($iteration_count_log2, $portable_hashes){
		$this->itoa64 = './0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';

		if ($iteration_count_log2 < 4 || $iteration_count_log2 > 31)
			$iteration_count_log2 = 8;
		$this->iteration_count_log2 = $iteration_count_log2;

		$this->portable_hashes = $portable_hashes;

		$this->random_state = microtime() . uniqid(rand(), TRUE); // removed getmypid() for compatibility reasons
	}

	function get_random_bytes($count){
		$output = '';
		if ( @is_readable('/dev/urandom') &&
		    ($fh = @fopen('/dev/urandom', 'rb'))) {
			$output = fread($fh, $count);
			fclose($fh);
		}

		if (strlen($output) < $count) {
			$output = '';
			for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i += 16) {
				$this->random_state =
				    md5(microtime() . $this->random_state);
				$output .=
				    pack('H*', md5($this->random_state));

Password Creation :

You can simple Require this file, where you need to create and check passwords. Than you can work like this.

<?php 
$wp_hasher = new PasswordHash(16, true);   // 16 digit hashing password
$pass = $wp_hasher->HashPassword( trim( $posted['password'] ) ); //$posted['password'] is your password

This is how, you can get the new password for your string which is similar like WordPress. Than you can store it in the database.  Now, Let’s see how to check it.

Check And Verify:

Let’s see an example, then you can understand it easily.

$password_hashed = $user['password'];  // here the password to check
$wp_hasher = new PasswordHash(16, true);
if($wp_hasher->CheckPassword($pass, $password_hashed)) {
	echo "Yes password is correct" ; 		
} else {
	echo "Entered Password is wrong";
}

That’s it.  Enjoy this happy coding, if you have clarifications post your comment below.  Let me help you.
