problems with basic bruteforcing

[Incisive]

A few other ways to generate hashes, for any users wanting to make sure their technique is giving the same results as other techniques:
Windows:

Code:

copy con password.txt
1234^z
md5sum password.txt >passwordA.md5
jacksum -a md5 password.txt >passwordB.md5
notepad passwordA.txt
<remove everything after the hash ends, i.e. the filename>
notepad passwordB.txt
<remove everything after the hash ends, i.e. the filename>

Where ^z means Ctrl-Z.

Jacksum supports a very wide variety of single hash outputs.
