Masterly.Hash.Testing

Test helpers for applications that use Masterly.Hash. Reference it from test projects only.
| Helper | What it does |
|---|---|
FastPasswordHasher |
A real PasswordHasher with a tiny Argon2id profile (test-fast: 64 KiB, t=1). Same behaviour as production (rehash on login, 1.x hashes, peppers, VerifyOrDummy, wrapping), microseconds per call. |
RecordingPasswordHasher |
Decorator that records every call (operation, sync/async, stored hash, result) so you can assert how your code uses the hasher. Never records passwords. |
FakePepper |
Deterministic, instrumented IPasswordPepper with key ids, rotation, retirement, async delay and fault injection. |
MasterlyHashAssert |
Framework-agnostic assertions; failures throw MasterlyHashAssertionException. |
KnownHashes |
Verified sample hashes (1.x, test-fast, peppered, wrapped, every built-in profile) and deterministic factories. |
Install
dotnet add package Masterly.Hash.Testing
Quickstart
// Register the fast hasher in place of the production one.
services.AddSingleton<IPasswordHasher>(new FastPasswordHasher());
// Or wrap it to assert on usage.
var hasher = new RecordingPasswordHasher(); // wraps a FastPasswordHasher
var accounts = new AccountService(hasher, repository);
repository.Add("alice", KnownHashes.V1Sha512); // a Masterly.Hash 1.x hash
await accounts.LoginAsync("alice", KnownHashes.Password);
MasterlyHashAssert.PersistedRehash(hasher, repository.HashOf("alice"));
MasterlyHashAssert.UsesProfile(repository.HashOf("alice"), FastPasswordHasher.ProfileId);
await accounts.LoginAsync("nobody", "whatever");
MasterlyHashAssert.UsedVerifyOrDummyForUnknownUser(hasher);
// Peppers and key rotation.
var pepper = new FakePepper("k1");
var peppered = new FastPasswordHasher(o => o.Pepper = pepper);
string stored = peppered.Hash("hunter2!");
MasterlyHashAssert.IsPeppered(stored, "k1");
pepper.RotateTo("k2");
MasterlyHashAssert.NeedsRehash(peppered, stored);
// Leak checks on whatever your code persisted.
MasterlyHashAssert.IsNotPlaintext(stored, "hunter2!");
Security notes
- Never use
FastPasswordHasherorFakePepperin production. Thetest-fastprofile has no meaningful cost and the fake pepper's keys are public. - Safety net: hashes from
FastPasswordHashercarry profile idtest-fast, which a productionPasswordHasherrejects (UnknownProfile), so a test hash that leaks into a real database can never be accepted. RecordingPasswordHasherstores only an HMAC-SHA256 fingerprint of each password, keyed per recorder; compare withrecorder.Fingerprint(password)orrecorder.CallsWithPassword(password).MasterlyHashAssertmessages never include passwords or stored values.IsMasterlyHash/UsesProfile/IsPepperedalso check salt and tag lengths, so a hash truncated by a too-short column fails.UsedVerifyOrDummyForUnknownUserfails if any unknown-user path calledVerify(password, null), even if another path usedVerifyOrDummy.IsNotPlaintexttries UTF-8, UTF-16LE and NFKC forms of the password (plain, base64, hex and unsalted MD5/SHA-1/SHA-2 digests).- Assertions that take a hasher unwrap a
RecordingPasswordHasher, so they never add calls to the history you assert on. KnownHashesuse fixed, public salts. Never seed a real database with them.
