Sigh. How many different ways of encoding scrypt password hashes are there?
I found $7$… in libsodium, $scrypt$… in passlib, prefix-less $-separated in simple-scrypt and php-scrypt (one uses hex, the other base64), and surely a million ad-hoc ones.
Am I missing any libraries?

Wait, that doc makes it look like the salt is encoded verbatim, not as base64. Can't be right, is it? Does anyone else implement $7$? I like
$logN=X$ so much better than encoding integers in bizarro base64... (What do you mean LDAP?) -

@solardiz may know more about where $7$ comes from and where it’s used. Encoded integers have the advantage of producing a constant-size string. - 2 more replies
