DES Token encoding exception - Miragui - 09-05-2025
I have a problem with this DES hash that gives me a Token encoding exception.
I'm running hashcat with the following command:
hashcat.exe -m 1500 -a 3 -w 3 hash.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a -i
It throws the following error:

How can I fix this?

"[" isn't part of the DES alphabet.

Do you know what kind of hash it can be then? Because the autodetect won't detect it.

What made you think it's a hash at all? Where did you get it?

It's from a Mercedes head unit, it's from the hash table so it is a hash, but maybe some modified hash.

I think it was corrupted at some point, either accidentally or deliberately.

Must be deliberate then, because I have another device that has the bracket exactly in the same spot in the hash table.

It is the correct mode, but there is somehow one or more typo's in the first line, because there should not be a [ in it.
The rest of the hashes work (hint, username is password)

I don't think it's a typo, this is directly from a flash dump of the device. Here is one that is slightly different but has the bracket in the same location.
