Generate hash to match the User password

On CentOS 7, I'm trying to create a shell script which will be executed by PHP that will allow me to login using CentOS User.

Below is the Hash password that I got from /etc/shadow

root:$6$LsCK1WmouFiO9AT/$.srI2tX1NXWpO0PSqaoB06hi0mvJ59Z3G4VpzT.3481gLNVvO6EPpsIaUkB5E/m8EZvMKXui.5GySJJ618.H8.::0:99999:7:::

This is the breakdown

Algorithm: sha512
Salt: LsCK1WmouFiO9AT/
hash: .srI2tX1NXWpO0PSqaoB06hi0mvJ59Z3G4VpzT.3481gLNVvO6EPpsIaUkB5E/m8EZvMKXui.5GySJJ618.H8.

How would I generate a password that will match the hash?

You can use Python 3 and greater to generate the hash password.

python -c 'import crypt; print crypt.crypt("MyPassword", "$6$RandomSalt/$")'

Change MyPassword to your plain text password and $RandomSalt to the salt you have.

By running the above you will get something like

.srI2tX1NXWpO0PSqaoB06hi0mvJ59Z3G4VpzT.3481gLNVvO6EPpsIaUkB5E/m8EZvMKXui.5GySJJ618.H8.

Now you can glue them together using $ so it will become

$6$LsCK1WmouFiO9AT/$.srI2tX1NXWpO0PSqaoB06hi0mvJ59Z3G4VpzT.3481gLNVvO6EPpsIaUkB5E/m8EZvMKXui.5GySJJ618.H8.
