Query - Rama - 10-02-2021
Hello everybody, good morning. My name is Rama and I am new to this forum.For days I have been trying to crack the password of a .rar file in wich I saved the backup of my laptop. To this .rar I put a password, wich I do not remember
Checking the Internet I came to this forum, but I don't know what version of hashcat I should install on my desktop PC. Could someone guide me?
Thank you very much
My PC data: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, 32GB of RAM DDR4 and MSI 3060 Ti Gaming X

what version? how about the most recent one? 6.2.4 see

first line ist download
second you will need another thirdparty program called john the ripper (its also an password cracker) and there you will need rar2john or zip2john to extract the hash from your file
just read the wiki for basic understanding how hahscat works
