Bitcoin hash length question - VC_23 - 11-17-2021 Hi All, Can anyone please tell me if there is a standard length or lengths for Bitcoin hashes generated using bitcoin2john ? For a test I created a Bitcoin Core wallet with a simple password, ran it through bitcoin2john and then cracked it using Hashcat. Everything was fine. I then compared that hash with one that I've been trying to crack for almost a week and noticed that its hash string is 1 character longer. Is this right? Is this to be expected ? Any help would be most appreciated please.

RE: Bitcoin hash length question - Snoopy - 08-17-2022 first i dont understand what your link has to do with your question, is this advertising? if so please remove. the hash consists of multiple parts with some built in safety checks, so hashcat should recognize whether or not your hash "seems" okay take a look at at the example hash and the source for modlule 11300 at github (following is the examples hash splittet by $) Code: bitcoin the two 96, the 16 and the 66 are the lenght of the following parts, so if your hash is "longer" this should reflect in these numbers, anyway as i said above, if hashcat accepts your hash, these safety checks are passed |
