Maximum password length 20 - newskill911 - 08-19-2021
Hi everyone,
Because i lost my password of a .7z i try to recover it with Hashcat.
A few days busy without result.
Now i tested it with a new .7z and extracted the hash with 7ztohascat, password file with the 100% correct password in. Still 0 recovered.
Now i noticed:
Maximum password length supported by kernel: 20
The password in the test password file (and the one im trying to recover) is 35+ characters long.
Is this the problem no password is found?
And how i increase the max password length?

I guess you use the -O (or long optiion: --optimized-kernel-enable). For passwords > 20 you need to remove the -O option for -m 11600 hashes
