Hash password service

HTTP service that hashes passwords using SHA512 and Base64 encoding

To begin, start the server (requires Go 1.8):

$ go run hash_password.go

Requests may then be made to http://localhost:8080. One of two requests is permitted:

1. Hash password
2. Shut down server

A delay of five seconds is applied to each response.

Hash password

Hash a password via an HTTP POST to /, e.g.

$ curl -s --data "password=angryMonkey" http:/localhost:8080/

Shut down server

Shut down the server via an HTTP POST to /shutdown, i.e.

$ curl -s -X POST http:/localhost:8080/shutdown
