Cracking private certificate - zamgold - 01-22-2026
Hi! I have a private certificate and its hash in the following format: $PEM$2$pkdf2$sha256$aes256_cbc$4$SALT$COUNT_ITER$IV$DATA_LEN$DATA
Is this hash type 24420, which needs to be slightly adjusted to the hashcat format, or something else?
i.e. correct it to this format:
$PEM$2$4$SALT$COUNT_ITER$IV$DATA_LEN$DATA
