Hello,
I have a few questions I'd like to ask about using hashcat, and generating rainbow tables, but just hashcat for now.
One is: suppose I have hashes that are e.g. sha512($password . $salt ) where $salt is unknown but could be an arbitrary length binary object, e.g. 6 bytes. Then that is hashed 5000 times. (Similar to what Symfony uses with it's sha512 provider). I have a password file, and I want to actually crack the salt, assuming that I have the password. How could I do that?
I have a few other questions, mostly dumb ones I guess. I've been googling and practicing on my rig but I want to try and get up to speed with my burning questions faster.
If you can help I can optionally send some bitcoin your way, although a modest amount.
Thank you,
James
