I'm curious about how the hash in /etc/passwd is generated. I know it's SHA512 based, since the 2nd field starts with $6$. But the characters that follow aren't a SHA512 hash. It looks like it was run through base64.
I read this: http://www.aychedee.com/2012/03/14/etc_shadow-password-hash-formats/ But Fedora doesn't have mkpasswd by default, whereas passwd seems to only update shadow rather than outputting to stdout. And if there's a salt used I can't tell how that would be referenced.
