  org.bouncycastle.crypto.generators.BCrypt.generate(byte[], byte[], int) as a direct replacement use `BCrypt.generate(byte[], byte[], int, boolean)` so the terminator choice is explicit at the call site — pass `true` to have the spec-required 0x00 terminator appended (equivalent to feeding `pwInput` through `BCrypt.passwordToByteArray(char[])`), `false` when the supplied bytes already include it. For general password hashing prefer `OpenBSDBCrypt`, which handles termination, salt formatting and the modular crypt output line; this raw primitive remains available for test-vector validation and interop with implementations that emit the 24-byte hash directly (issue #1741).
