Cracking SHA when I know the salt - is this the right way? - toad - 09-08-2015
I've cracked some hashes and the results looks like this:
pass1234
dog1234
banjo1234
etc,
So I know that the salt is 1234 appended at the end of the password.
Now, I fire up cudaHashCat and enter this:
Code:
cudaHashCat64.exe -m 110 7xxa1a94xxbe3cxx660xx237ecxxf505804xxdac:1234Is this the correct way? It doesn't seem to progress - Recovered (0%), Digests (0%), Speed 0h/s.

You haven't specified an attack mode. If you have a wordlist/dictionary called english.txt (in the same folder as hashcat) use this:
Quote:cudaHashCat64.exe -m 110 -a 0 7xxa1a94xxbe3cxx660xx237ecxxf505804xxdac:1234 english.txt

That's what some people think is a good salting method? Oh dear.
