sha512 salt length limit - pand0ra - 12-01-2021
So, I have a question. I have come across a sha512 hash and salt and the hash reads in fine in hashcat but this developer has a salt that is 1000+ bytes long. Hashcat comes back with an error "token length exception" which I think is related to the stupid long salt length. Is hashcat limited in the length of the salt or is there some other issue that I may be overlooking?

Max salt size is 256 for modules sha512($pass.$salt) and sha512($salt.$pass).
