How To Install python3-argon2 on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-argon2 on Kali Linux. python3-argon2 is Argon2 password hashing library - Python 3.x Module

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-argon2 on Kali Linux.

What is python3-argon2

python3-argon2 is:

Argon2 is a password-hashing function that can be used to hash passwords for credential storage, key derivation, or other applications.

There are two main versions of Argon2: Argon2i and Argon2d. Argon2i is the safest against side-channel attacks, while Argon2d provides the highest resistance against GPU cracking attacks.

Argon2i and Argon2d are parametrized by:

  • A time cost, which defines the amount of computation realized and therefore the execution time, given in number of iterations
  • A memory cost, which defines the memory usage, given in kibibytes
  • A parallelism degree, which defines the number of parallel threads

This module provides argon2 hashing primitives for the Python 3 programming language.
