Differences in password hash calculations

I would like to make sure I understand the /etc/shadow file, especially the salt/hash part.

Each line is in the format: 



username:passwd:last:may:must:warn:expire:disable:reserved


The passwd field is in the format : $x$salt$hash



Now, I take the hash (from the root user for example) and translate it in base64 (standard) with the command:



tr ./0-9A-Za-z A-Za-z0-9+/ hash


Why does an online hash calculator of "salt+password" give a different result?



I use a SHA-512 hash function according to the $6$ before the salt value.

I compare the two hash strings in the base64 standard encoding.

I can create the same hash string with the mkpasswd command using the salt but I can't figure out why I can't do that with an online hash calculator.



Thank you for your help.

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
