Hi all,
I'm very new to Hashcat and password cracking in general, but I'm trying to solve a challenge puzzle and I'm not quite sure how to move forward. Maybe you guys can help.
It goes like this:
1. Having a password's SHA1 hash value of:
6xxe1axxx61ac8b449xxx6f58c4822408ddxxxxx
2. And the possible characters of which the password is made are: (I don't know the password length)
qwinQWIN*+~@580%(=}[
Find the password ...
Having 20 chars to permute in (for ex
8 chars passwords would create a very loooong list, making a dictionary attack hard.
Is there a way to hash this with hashcat that does not require a wordlist ? I'm a noob and not very familiar with how every mode and rules work.
So far I got this:
hashcat64.exe -m 100 -a 3 Hash.txt charsets/Sha1.hcchr
Hash.txt is the location of the hash value and Sha1.hcchr is the location for the string of chars.
