Thanks, I have added this reference:
https://gitlab.com/jas/ietf-scrypt/commit/3ec64578caeae390a2135eccd482e0e1659163c9

I recall a blog post from Ulrich Drepper describing the GNU libc
SHA-256/512 crypt function but cannot locate it now.

NTLM was discussed on this list recently, and it is a proprietary
algorithm and I'm not aware of any suitable reference for it.
