Yescrypt hashes
#1
Hi,

I'm trying to get hashcat to crack a yescrypt hash from /etc/shadow file, and I found this https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/blob/...ckstart.md - but do I understand it wrong if I just need to prepare the hash line or do I need to write the plugin?

Just follow the steps as explained on that page: format the hash, and adapt the plugin-file for use with yescrypt. Copy-paste, and you're good to go.

I formatted the hash. but what should I put here:  ST_pass="password" in the plugin code?
Also, should the generic_hash_mp.py or generic_hash_sp.py exist somewhere on my ubuntu where hashcat are installed? Because they did not exist.

You need hashcat 7.1.2 or newer.
