How can I reproduce a SHA512 hash in C# that fits the PHP SHA512?

Question

The question is pretty much self-explanatory. I Googled many sites, many methods, tried many encodings, but I can\'t get it to match.

I\'m trying to make the string

Answer 1

BitConverter works just fine ...

var testVal = "asdasd";
var enc = new ASCIIEncoding();
var bytes = enc.GetBytes( testVal );

var sha = new SHA512Managed();
var result = sha.ComputeHash( bytes );

var resStr = BitConverter.ToString( result );
var nodash = resStr.Replace( "-", "" );

nodash.Dump();

(Fixed for 512-bit hash, sorry :)
