Yescrypt hashes - radde1818 - 11-26-2025
Hi,
I'm trying to get hashcat to crack a yescrypt hash from /etc/shadow file, and I found this https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/blob/master/docs/hashcat-python-plugin-quickstart.md - but do I understand it wrong if I just need to prepare the hash line or do I need to write the plugin?

Just follow the steps as explained on that page: format the hash, and adapt the plugin-file for use with yescrypt. Copy-paste, and you're good to go.

I formatted the hash. but what should I put here: ST_pass="password" in the plugin code?
Also, should the generic_hash_mp.py or generic_hash_sp.py exist somewhere on my ubuntu where hashcat are installed? Because they did not exist.

You need hashcat 7.1.2 or newer.

Does that have the plugin already embeded so you can just specify a specific format id?

again, as explained on https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/blob/master/docs/hashcat-python-plugin-quickstart.md, you'll read that a generic mode 73000 (or 72000) is provided

Yes I know that will need to be provided on the command line, but my question remains regarding what the "password" in the plugin code should be.
