(N)oob - sos please - aqw01 - 01-04-2024
Hi, sorry to bother you for a moment. I am a complete noob and I would like to know if you can help me use the Hashcat application to recover my password on a LibreOffice Writer document, saved not as .odt but as .docx (I don't know what type of encryption it uses for this). I know the beginning but not the ending. Perhaps you would be willing to write a script for the application and explain to me how to do it in two minutes? Thank you

Can I succeed with the Hashcat application in recovering my password on a document created with LibreOffice Writer, saved not as .odt but as .docx, do you think? I know the beginning but not the end of the password.

See John the Ripper for tools for extracting hashes from many sources, in your case it should be office2john
https://github.com/openwall/john/blob/bleeding-jumbo/run/office2john.py
compare your output with the examples hashes found here (mode 9400 and up) as john outputs more data than hashcat needs (like filename etc. this have to be cleaned before you can run hashcat
