3DES is both a block cipher and a cryptographic hash. At least UNIX thought so in the 1990s as many MANY people were storing UNIX passwords in 3DES, DES, MD5, and similar.
> Neither of them are password hashes.
25 years of computing history would disagree with you. MD5 was the defacto standard for password hashing for almost fifteen years.
But no doubt you'd playing silly word games, and are going with your own definition of "password hash" that includes or excludes different hashing algorithms as it is convenient for you. I won't get drawn into that.
> What you're describing is closer to a "pepper".
What you're doing is called being "condescending." You know full well from my posts above that I am familiar with salt/peppering/hashing, and the different technologies involved. So linking to 101 tutorials and definitions of basic terms is only intended to aggravate.
