How to select exact search space? - foxtrot - 01-13-2018 Hi there! This is my first post on this forum, so I wanted to thank all of you, Hashcat devs and Community for your great work on this tool! I'm trying to write my own cracking-distribution software to divide one problem (hash cracking ofc) on many computers. I have a problem with hashcat settings - after sending to node worker selected hash I need to tell hashcat to brute only strings from predefined space. An simplified example: let's assume I have 4 chars in my password and 26 workers. Then first worker should search in <aaaa, azzzz>, second <baaa, bzzzz> and so on. I was trying to find the answer in disthc code and FAQ, but I've probably missed something. Thank you in advance! foxtrot RE: How to select exact search space? - royce - 01-13-2018 Not knowing any better, what is the value in carving up the search space based on human-readable criteria? Why not just use -s/--skip and -l/--limit naturally, and the math like: https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-5850.html RE: How to select exact search space? - foxtrot - 01-13-2018 (01-13-2018, 10:58 PM)royce Wrote: Not knowing any better, what is the value in carving up the search space based on human-readable criteria?

Thank you very much! (can I mark the thread as solved?) Ah, I see - I thought you already knew about it, and wanted something different! I don't think there's direct marking as solved here; context appears to usually be sufficient. |
