Subject: Re: [john-users] Doing raw SHA512 hashes

Moving this discussion to john-dev.

If others want to chime in, I currently want to do raw SHA256/SHA512
hashes, using code from John the Ripper. I am looking at src/opencl/
office2013_kernel.cl and src/opencl/pbkdf2_hmac_sha512_kernel.cl. They use
src/opencl_sha2.h.

In src/opencl_office2013_fmt_plug.c, there is no "main" function, so I am
wondering where and how the functions in that file are being called. I want
to make sure that I'm using the kernels in the right way to get the
optimizations that JtR has done.
