need help with itunes_backup2hashcat - bp42 - 09-10-2024

Hi everyone,

I'm really new to hashcat in that I literally just installed it and am trying to watch videos on how to crack the password on an itunes encrypted backup. Currently I am trying to get the manifest hash by using itunes_backup2hashcat, but when I go to enter the command with my plist I get the message, " '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file". I'm currently on a windows laptop. Any help will be great. Thank you

That's because itunes_backup2hashcat isn't an executable windows program. It's a perl script. You need to install perl and run the script in a perl context.

This is no small operation if you're not used to scripts and working in command line (just guessing here).

Ahhh. Okay. After installing perl, how do I go into the perl context?

Edit: I think I just got it. Thank you so much for your help!!!
