Hi,

From a shadow file a hash looking like this was collected:
$6$WoC532HB$LagBJ00vAGNGu8p9oeYDOSNZo9vTNTzOgPA.K0bJoiXfbcpj3jBuTkNwdzCrSNadRi8LanH1tH6tGGPPp/Lp3.

The $6$ implicates that it is a SHA-512.

Do I need to convert it into hex for hashcat (oclHashcat-lite) to be able to process it?

Regards SegFault
You dont need to convert, you can take it as it is. Do not forget to add -m 1800 (which oclHashcat-lite does not support)

Okey, thanks.
I'll try that and if it doesn't work I'll post again (thought I tried that before but have to try it again before I say something about it).
