How to crack 7z format archive? - zhaoxishm - 06-22-2024
I used the 7z2john.pl script from john-1.9.0 or the 7z2hashcat64-2.0.exe program to generate the HASH of the bundle, but they were very large. The 7Z bundle I tested was 3MB, but the hash generated was 4MB. If it's a larger zip, then the hash file is 7-11MB in size, which is not normal, I don't know what's going on?
This image is a very small test 7Z archive that I generated myself. The archive is only 3MB in size, but the HASH file is larger than the archive.

It's normal for the hash to be very large in archive hashes, don't worry. Just remove the "9.7z:" from the start or use --username and Hashcat will accept it
