Hash-encoding exception ? - jakobm - 01-25-2017
Hi,
I've tried to make an MD5 hash with a salt in different ways from the Ubuntu command line for testing purposes. I keep getting this error message:
Hash-encoding exception
For instance when running
Code:
./hashcat64.bin -m 20 -a 3 'hashvalue'also
Code:
./hashcat64.bin -m 10 -a 3 'hashvalue'gives me the same error.
When using -m 0 I get 'Line-length exception' which seem more common. I cannot find any references to 'Hash 'hashvalue': Hash-encoding exception' except in the hashcat source-files.
I hope you can help me.
Best regards.
Ps.
I generated the hash-value by using
Code:
python3 -c 'import crypt; print(crypt.crypt("password", crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_MD5)))'in the command line.

These hashes are md5crypt hashes.
See https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes and the help (it's the hash mode -m 500 = md5crypt, MD5(Unix), FreeBSD MD5, Cisco-IOS MD5 ).
You sohuldn't post hashes here without being asked by the administrator (or a moderator). You risk to get banned.

Ok, thank you very much for the info! I will redact the hashes.
