Finding salt, with known pass and part of hash
#3
Thanks for the reply.

To tell you the truth, I don't even know the digest being used. Just wondering and giving it a try. Also, I have no way of finding it. All I know, is that it's a 14 digits, alphanumeric (lower and upper) sequence (e.g. 4HtS30XzamW0dC). It looks like being base64 encoded, but out of the samples I have, none ever appeared a + or /, which is supposed to be included in the base64's set. Well, my sample set is just 5 values, so not really decisive.
I "chose" MD5 because of its popularity. Maybe it's a trimmed hash, so it becomes 10 bytes and then base64 encoded, which becomes 14 chars of text. And I know what is part of the plain-text (or the pass), but without the salt.

It's all "bruteforce", from the used algo to the salt. :/

I'm going to give PasswordsPro a try. It seems the demo version doesn't allow this partial hash ability. Also, its not GPU accelerated. Sad Will fiddle around their forums for some input!

Thanks!
