Mac OS X Password
I want to know the exact process of how Mac OS X takes a string(password) and encrypts it. I know the encrypted file is stored in /var/db/shadow/hash/<GUID>
But..
1) How does the string get to that point?
2) How can I write a script [in python] that can do this so i can encrypt my password, compare it and get a match to the one the system stores.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
