RE: HC and Blowfish Advanced CS Help - NoolanJ - 08-19-2022
...still interesting thread, as I have the same problem with a file, I encrypted about 15 years ago.
I compiled the bfacs2hashcat.c and it seem to work fine with some test files I have encrypted right now with the old BfACS I still have.
But unfortunately using it with the old file (size about 200mb) I always get the message
'Short read while trying to read file header from xy.zip.bfa".
Any idea what that means or how to get the hash anyway? Thanks!

That error means that the file you're pointing bfacs2hashcat at is less than 35 bytes long, because it's unable to read the complete file header (which is only 35 bytes long). I can't imagine why that'd happen with a file you say is 200MB.
