Hi there,
I'm currently investigating the possibilities to bruteforce an ecryptfs hash (http://cybermashup.com/2015/08/25/how-to...passwords/).
After extracting the hash I ran a benchmark using a wordlist of over 1 billion (1x10^9) words. The complete process took over 4 days (+/- 3300 H/s). Given the fact that nothing is known about the hash (except for the length probably being 8, 9 or 10 characters), I want to try all possible combinations of 8, 9 and 10 character passwords, containing upper case, lower case, digits and special characters. That would give me 95^8, 95^9 and 95^10 possibilities to try.
Needless to say that by the time this process is done and/or the password is found, chances are I won't be around anymore ;-)
Questions:
1. Is finding ecryptfs hashes really much slower than finding other hashes?
2. Can I speed up the process (more hardware and/or smart thinking)?
Normally I would not bother to ask, but finding the hashed password is really important because of personal reasons and all input is greatly appreciated!
