How to create a laravel hashed password

Question 1

I am trying to create an hashed password for Laravel. Now someone told me to use Laravel hash helper but I can't seem to find it or I'm looking in the wrong direction.

How do I create a laravel hashed password? And where?

Edit: I know what the code is but I don't know where and how to use it so it gives me back the hashed password. If I get the hashed password then I can manually insert it into the database

Question 2

Hashing A Password Using Bcrypt in Laravel:

$password = Hash::make('yourpassword');

This will create a hashed password. You may use it in your controller or even in a model, for example, if a user submits a password using a form to your controller using POST method then you may hash it using something like this:

$password = Input::get('passwordformfield'); // password is form field
$hashed = Hash::make($password);

Here, $hashed will contain the hashed password. Basically, you'll do it when creating/registering a new user, so, for example, if a user submits details such as, name, email, username and password etc using a form, then before you insert the data into database, you'll hash the password after validating the data. For more information, read the documentation.

Update:

$password = 'JohnDoe';
$hashedPassword = Hash::make($password);
echo $hashedPassword; // $2y$10$jSAr/RwmjhwioDlJErOk9OQEO7huLz9O6Iuf/udyGbHPiTNuB3Iuy

So, you'll insert the $hashedPassword into database. Hope, it's clear now and if still you are confused then i suggest you to read some tutorials, watch some screen casts on laracasts.com and tutsplus.com and also read a book on Laravel, this is a free ebook, you may download it.

Update: Since OP wants to manually encrypt password using Laravel Hash without any class or form so this is an alternative way using artisan tinker from command prompt:

Go to your command prompt/terminal
Navigate to the Laravel installation (your project's root directory)
Use cd <directory name> and press enter from command prompt/terminal
Then write php artisan tinker and press enter
Then write echo Hash::make('somestring');
You'll get a hashed password on the console, copy it and then do whatever you want to do.

Update (Laravel 5.x):

// Also one can use bcrypt
$password = bcrypt('JohnDoe');

Question 3

Download the library I am using from a blog post on the ID Security Suite site:

<?php
    function pdfEncrypt ($origFile, $password, $destFile){
        require_once('FPDI_Protection.php');
        $pdf =& new FPDI_Protection();
        $pdf->FPDF('P', 'in');
        //Calculate the number of pages from the original document.
        $pagecount = $pdf->setSourceFile($origFile);
        //Copy all pages from the old unprotected pdf in the new one.
        for ($loop = 1; $loop <= $pagecount; $loop++) {
            $tplidx = $pdf->importPage($loop);
            $pdf->addPage();
            $pdf->useTemplate($tplidx);
        }

        //Protect the new pdf file, and allow no printing, copy, etc. and
        //leave only reading allowed.
        $pdf->SetProtection(array(), $password);
        $pdf->Output($destFile, 'F');
        return $destFile;
    }

    //Password for the PDF file (I suggest using the email adress of the purchaser).
    $password = "testpassword";
    //Name of the original file (unprotected).
    $origFile = "sample.pdf";
    //Name of the destination file (password protected and printing rights removed).
    $destFile ="sample_protected.pdf";
    //Encrypt the book and create the protected file.
    pdfEncrypt($origFile, $password, $destFile );
?>

Question 4

The article that you linked seems to contain the answer. https://mnshankar.wordpress.com/2014/03/29/laravel-hash-make-explained/

The cleverness of this is that the algorithm, salt and cost are embedded into the hash and so can be easily parsed out into individual components for reconstruction/verification (Please see relevant sections of the php crypt source code at https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/standard/crypt.c#L258). Because of this, you don’t need to store the salt/cost separately in a database table.

Question 5

Check out FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile

string hashMD5 = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(Pass + Salt, "MD5");

string hashSHA1 = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(Pass + Salt, "SHA1");

Question 6

As @Mois44 alluded to, you should be able to accomplish this with the QueueManager.

The QueueManager will allow you to call the connection() method, which will return a Queue object. And from here, you can call the normal queued functions (pushOn, laterOn, etc)

// Returns an IlluminateQueueQueueManager object
$queueManager = app('queue'); 

// Returns an IlluminateQueueQueue object
$queue = $queueManager->connection('my-connection'); 

$queue->pushOn('queue_name', $job);

or all chained together

app('queue')->connection('my-connection')->pushOn('queue_name', $job)

Admittedly, my Lumen specific knowledge is pretty limited. If the app() method doesn't work to get an instance of the QueueMananger, then I'm not sure what to do.
