{Updated} In the old days, all Unix and Linux user-encrypted passwords were stored in the world-readable /etc/passwd file. It was reasonably secure then until dictionary attacks on encrypted passwords became typical with modern fast hardware. Hence, the encrypted passwords were moved to a separate /etc/shadow file under Linux which is readable only by the root (admin) user. This new file also allowed password aging and expiration features.The post Understanding /etc/shadow file format on Linux appeared first on nixCraft. 2023-03-30T20:11:00Z 2023-03-30T20:11:00Z Vivek Gite
