I have question about recovering password. Well, I know how long my password is and I remember first letter too. It's two words together and numbers and digits. It wasn't create by generator. My question is, which method can I use to recover this password? I tried dictionary method (my computer is still working on it...) and I'm wondering if it's something I don't know, what can help in this case. Or maybe I'm wrong and dictionary method is not appropriate in my situation? Can you help me?
ya
mask attack is ur best bet i guess.
u havent said that algorithm is it .
but.
u know how long is it.
for example 10 chars.
u know the first letter .
so its already 9 chars.
and u know (number and digit are the same thing) but lets say a word and a digit.
u might remember the word ? or part of the word.
or how many digit are they, 3? 2? 4?
u know perhaps if u used upercase letters or lowercase letters ?
so from 10 chars we reduce the to 9,
u know there is 3 digit but cant remember whom
so we start with
hashcat -m x -a3 hash -1 ?l?u m?1?1?1?1?1?d?d?d?d
the calculation should be the number of letters POWER of candidate (chars)
abcd.... is 26 chars
ABCD... is another 26 chars
012345... is 10 chars.
for example 10 ^ 4 = 10000
by selecting the right mask that will reduce ur time .
