How to generate pwhash

mkpasswd -m sha-512

or use the following python script which generates random password and a hash at the same time

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import string
import crypt
import threading
from random import *
characters = string.ascii_letters + "~@#$%^&*()-_+=23456789"

def genOne():
    password =  "".join(choice(characters) for x in range(randint(10, 15)));
    salt = crypt.mksalt(method=crypt.METHOD_SHA512);
    print (password, "|", crypt.crypt(password,salt=salt));

for i in range(4):
    threading.Thread(target=genOne, args=()).start()
