Digests different from unique digests - Alessia97 - 04-29-2022
Hello everyone, I’m trying to crack in brute force way a file of ntlm hashes. The problem is when I start hashcat it writes two different numbers of unique digests and digests . Bu there are no duplicates in the hashes file. So, maybe , is a memory problem? I have to chunk in different files my hashes file ?

could it be, that in your file the empty ntlm hash is included? or how big is the diff in both numbers?

This is the output:
Hashes: 847223402 digests; 268435456 unique digests
I've cheked and there are not empty lines

well this is quite a huge list, i would assume you downloaded a bulk of uncracked ntlm from somewhere?
some sites just copy/merge "left lists" and doesnt check for doubles, so i would assume there are many many doubles inside
you could check with
linux
Code:
sort -ui yourfile | wc-lthe output number is your real uniq count
