Need help with sha512crypt hash
#1
I'm trying to assist one of my students with cracking a hash from a shadow file using hash mode 1800, but the "Token length exception" error keeps appearing. Hash appears to be longer than other $6$ hashes. Let me know how to modify it into a crackable form, please.

Full line: user:$6$z.[redacted]$[redacted]::0:99999:7:::

Command line: hashcat -m 1800 -a 0 -w 3 $6$z.[redacted]$[redacted] wordlist.txt

If you are using the first example (Full line) you need to add the --username command to the command

This command is ok Command line: hashcat -m 1800 -a 0 -w 3 $6$z.[redacted]$[redacted] wordlist.txt

and password is hill

Good to know. Weirdly, if I removed the -a 0, it worked.
