OpenSSL Generate Salt, Key and IV

Posted on By David Kittell 
# For 256 CBC
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -k MySuperSecretPassPhrase -P -md sha1

The above code will generate this result (Make sure you set your MySuperSecretPassPhrase to something unique)

salt=9286F768BE82A5DB
key=30EF28D3A84CA1F0B24BBA23C329ECAE4445B6D61EF2EB43AEB6560096D4291D
iv =FE2AB00F0B81EEA78F789980ACE6CAE3
