Specify Iterations/Rounds in MD5 (m=0) - datosh - 05-24-2014
Hey folks,
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to specify a number of rounds/iterations. I need so crack a password that was hashed with 5 iterations of MD5, no salt. So:
MD5(MD5(MD5(MD5(MD5(password)))))
Is there a way to specify iterations in the normal -m 0 mode? I know that you can do this with md5crypt but it uses a salt and would therefore lead to the wrong result.
I tried to supply the to-cracking-hash in this way:
$rounds=5$123....789
But I get a line-length exception so I guess thats not the right way. I only found sources on how to find to specify the rounds of md5crypt and other speccs that already use multiple rounds/iterations.

No there isnt. You are looking for quintuple md5 (hashcat supports up to triple I think?).
