Hashapass on the command line

Due to its adherence to standard cryptography algorithms, Hashapass passwords can easily be generated on most any modern Unix-like system using the following command line pattern:

echo -n parameter \
| openssl dgst -sha1 -hmac password \
| xxd -r -p \
| openssl enc -base64 \
| cut -c 1-8

Requirements are openssl and xxd.
