only cracking the first part ? - usefkat - 02-07-2015
Hi I really like active communities and I was told this is one of the most active hash cracking communities. So here is my question
Is it possible to crack only the first few characters of a hash ?
I mean that I have a hash which in plain text makes 35 FUCKING CHARACTERS with special chars lower case numbers AND upper case dude how mangy decades do I need to crack that ??
That's 62^35 my calculator can't even that that number in ...
So here's the deal I ONLY want the first 6 chars of the password how do I do it ?

Sorry, this is not possible.
Also your math is wrong, the keyspace would be 95^35. Not that it really matters.

hmm well what do u suggest i do, i know the structure of the plain test its "("number,number,number, l timestamp")"-random useless combination- is there a way to add some sort of formula to the brute forcing?

You would be able to reduce the keyspace with a targeted mask attack, but I don't think it will matter much.
