I am tying to decrypt a Hash which is bcrypt blowfish (Unix). The hash is like this $2a$04$xxxxxxxxxx.
I already know the hash is a 6 digit numerical code.
As I know its going to be a 6-digit numerical code so I used a brute force with mask and it tried all the possible combinations in aorund 10 minutes and the hash could not be cracked.
Here is the command line I am using:
./hashcat -m 3200 -a 3 -1 ?d hash ?1?1?1?1?1?1
Note: I am using it on Mac OS and I tried another md5 hash which was also a 6-digit numerical code and was cracked with the same attack in less than a second
Now the question is why I am unable to crack the bcrypt hash with brute force mask attack? Am I missing something? Or I need to use some other way?
