We gladly accept GitHub PRs :) with a unit test would be fantastic.

>             Project: Commons Codec
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.11
>            Reporter: Simon Levermann
>            Priority: Major

> The regex/code that extracts the salt from a given salt string in Sha2Crypt treats some invalid salt formats as valid:
> {code:java}
> ^\$([56])\$(rounds=(\d+)\$)?([\.\/a-zA-Z0-9]{1,16}).*
> {code}
> The code then goes on to use capture group 3 (the round count) to determine how many rounds are used, and capture group 4 (the actual salt) to use as salt data.
> However, for an input that contains an invalid salt specification like this:
> {code:java}
> $5$notrounds=1000$asdfasdf
> {code}
> This string is treated as valid. The operation then uses "notrounds" as the salt for hashing:
> {code:java}
> System.out.println(Sha2Crypt.sha256Crypt(new byte[100], "$5$notrounds=1000$asdfasdf"));
> {code}
> The above code prints
> {code:java}
> $5$notrounds$aAEx6EzUBfc.aIIeiItVjUREbj/ar4xlb/qcMxD90NA
> {code}
> This code should probably throw an exceptions. Additionally, other invalid salt strings like
>  
> {code:java}
> $6$rounds=1000$äöüäöü
> {code}
> Result in hashes like:
> {code:java}
> $5$rounds$ZIRdMgi25kK5Zmi1whKjcnFN/Pe8QCAOlTmxMfwAoq5
> {code}
> Completely ignoring the rounds parameter, and using the literal string "rounds" as the salt for hashing.
