Why is my Litecoin hash "only" 112 characters long? - Mikkel118 - 12-07-2021

Hi all,

I'm getting the line-length exception error I read about in other posts, but I can't find a solution for it.

The example hash for a Bitcoin/Litecoin wallet has 305 characters, starting with $bitcoin$96$...
My Litecoin wallet, when using bitcoin2john and similar tools I found, gives a hash with 112 characters. I've changed some of the characters to show you what it looks like:

$bitcoin$64$XXXc3c5c58212dd4ec2261bXXX1b6c0e787d1eaab10XXX9bb70870153db3b539$16$4601abbXXX1c046e$62055$2$00$2$00

Why won't Hashcat recognize this as a Litecoin wallet hash?
It's an old wallet, from 2013 I think, but that shouldn't matter, right?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Michael
