Help with cracking 7zip hash - Shiroslullaby - 02-11-2017
I've got a password-protected 7zip file. I found a tool "7z2hashcat"
https://github.com/philsmd/7z2hashcat
which supposedly extracts the hash to be used in Hashcat
I ran the tool and got the hash in this format:
$7z$2$19$0$$8$[redacted]
I then run
Hashcat64.exe -a 3 -m 11600 ExtractedHash.txt
When I attempt to brute-force the hash I get an error message
Salt-value exception No hashes loaded.
Am I doing something wrong in my command line argument, or is the issue the extracted hash?
Any help or guidance on how to extract the hash of a 7z file and crack it is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
RE: Help with cracking 7zip hash - philsmd - 02-11-2017
you need to use the latest version of hashcat (https://hashcat.net/beta) because since last release version there were several changes with -m 11600 = 7-Zip
You should quickly remove the hashes here, otherwise you will get banned
