PDF Owner Password - santi521 - 09-19-2024
So, have hashcat installed on my windows using msys2
Was able to get everything built and running.
I know the hash type, 10500, and i have the hash saved under table.txt on my deskptop
I'm currently pushing this command
./hashcat.exe -m 10500 -a 0 ./desktop/table.txt
and the return is
Hash './desktop/table.txt' : separator unmatched
No hashes were loaded
I'm guessing its either the save location or the syntax, but have zero idea where to go

first: why so complicated? just use the latest precompiled beta provided https://hashcat.net/beta/
second: this error means, that your hash is malformaed, see https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes
example hash looks like this
Code:
$pdf$2*3*128*-1028*1*16*da42ee15d4b3e08fe5b9ecea0e02ad0f*32*c9b59d72c7c670c42eeb4fca1d2ca15000000000000000000000000000000000*32*c4ff3e868dc87604626c2b8c259297a14d58c6309c70b00afdfb1fbba10ee571john the ripper tools add informations like filename not needed, so just strip them
third: -a0 means wordlist attack, you need to provide a wordlist (don't know whether hashcat uses the example.dcit by default when no dict is provided)
