my code

function encrypt3DES (string){
    let iv = Crypto.randomBytes(16);
    let salt = "foobar";
    let hash = Crypto.createHash("sha1");

    hash.update(salt);

    let key = hash.digest().slice(0, 16);

    let encryption = Crypto.createCipheriv("des3", key, iv);

    let cipher = encryption.update(string, "utf8", "base64");
    cipher += cipher.final('base64');

    console.log("[" + string + "] => [" + cipher + "]");
}

trying to write a simple function that encrypts a given string in 3DES-CBC

'des3' is 3DES in ECB mode, not CBC. Check node -p 'crypto.getCiphers()' to see what is supported.

I'll close this as it's not a node.js bug. If you have further questions, please post them to the help repo.
