issue in generating password sha-512 hash for centos

[Suresh P]

Hi, 

user_password="test123"

pass => generate('/bin/sh, '-c', "python -c 'import crypt;print crypt.crypt('$user_password','\$6\$mpouwk')'|tr -d '\n' "),

In above case i'm not able to generate sha-512 password hash.   

Regards,

Suresh

Of course not.  The Python crypt module is a wrapper around crypt(3), which is a modified DES algorithm.  If you want SHA-512 then you can get it from the hashlib module, among other places.
