Using Hashcat to find iTunes Backup password
#1
iOS9 Backup

I've forgotten my backup password on itunes (ios9) and can't seem to find the password using Passware Recovery Kit Forensic using brute force for the manifest.plist file.

I don't remember any clues as to what it may be and so I selected predefined on the software but its coming up with remaining time of months which is way too long although I can understand why.

I was thinking to try Hashcat but haven't a clue how to use it. Could someone make an easy step by step guide on how to do it and I'm sure this would also help others.

I have used youtube to get an understanding but its not enough to do what I need. I am downloading some wordlists whilst I'm trying to figure how to do the hashcat part.

Thanks in advance for any help
