Jan 28, 2019 at 19:42 comment added outer @Meir Maor It's even worse. Not only is the top bit of all ASCII zero, the bottom bit is the DES parity bit (which gets ignored). This is perhaps why the two ASCII character string only contributes 12 bits of salt.
Sep 14, 2018 at 14:08 comment added Meir Maor You removed the wrong bit. You remove the top bit which is 0 for all ASCII characters.

Oct 16, 2012 at 17:59 comment added Pier-Alexandre Bouchard I imagine the first two characters of the password will be salted as function_DES(salt + passwd, zeros)
Oct 16, 2012 at 17:46 comment added Paŭlo Ebermann Actually, your source answers how the salt is stored (and how it is generated), but not how it is actually used.
