Correct cmd for 7z file using brute force - jillbrooke - 11-22-2017
Howdy
I am trying to recover the password for a 7z file that I lost the pwd for.
I am not using a wordlist.
I have to specify upper case, lower case numbers and several symbols such as ! or @, etc.
I've tried running this cmd and I know it's wrong. can anyone help me? I've read several threads, examples, and I'm not sure how to specify the right charset. The password might be 9 characters long and I can't remember any parts of it.
/hashcat -a 3 -m 11600 mfilehash.txt
To get the hash for the file I used 7z2hashcat
Is that the best option? The file is large and I really need to recover it.
Thx to everyone in advance!

You're not going to recover it during your lifetime.
