I half-heartedly tried UTF-16BE with 64, 65, 64000, 64001, 65536 and 65537 iterations - no luck. I have a feeling this is not like Drepper's sha2crypt at all though.
What year did they come up with this thing? Maybe it's just iterated SHA-512 with no/less/other magic? Or maybe it's actually PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512. Or just HMAC, for that matter. Or maybe it more closely resembles crypt-md5, but using SHA-2.
