Scrypt

scrypt is a password-based key derivation function (PBKDF) created by Colin Percival. The algorithm was specifically designed to make it costly to perform large-scale custom hardware attacks by requiring large amounts of memory. In 2016, the scrypt algorithm was published by IETF as RFC 7914. Enter the password in the input to generate its hash. Scrypt lives in the Hashing category of the fx menu.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Input	string	yes	—	Value to transform. Previous step output or a literal.
Salt	string	no	—	Argument value for this operation.
Iterations (N)	number	no	16384	Numeric value. Default 16384.
Memory factor (r)	number	no	8	Numeric value. Default 8.
Parallelization factor (p)	number	no	1	Numeric value. Default 1.
Key length	number	no	64	Numeric value. Default 64.

Input is the primary value (previous step output or a literal).

Returned value

Type	Description
string	Result of the Scrypt transformation.

Limitations

• Wrong key, algorithm options, or malformed input typically raises an evaluation error — fix Input or options before re-running.

Example

Run Scrypt

scrypt is a password-based key derivation function (PBKDF) created by Colin Percival. Adjust optional parameters when the defaults do not match your payload.

1. Set Input to the value to transform (previous step output or a literal).

2. Review Salt, Iterations (N), Memory factor (r), Parallelization factor (p), Key length and keep defaults unless your format requires otherwise.

3. Confirm Output value shows the transformed result.
