Hi,
I have forgot my exact keepass password and as such I wanted to try to bruteforce it with the remaining knowledge that I have of it. However, funnily enough my sense for security makes it twice as hard for me. As I upped the iteration count into the 9 digits, while hashcat does only accept 8 digits hashes. I had a look at the code and my idea was to just increase the allowed max digits (module_1340, line 132) from 8 to 9.
However, my PC is set up for Windows and thus, I fiddled around with cross compiling in a newly set up VM but I did not manage to get it successfully running. (I also found this link https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/blob/...#L555-L560 as a hint for compiling the iconv (which is the problem I also ran into))
Is there already a way to have a 9 digits iteration count for keepass?
And if not, can somebody point me towards setting up the mingw crosscompiler and actually compile hashcat on a fresh ubuntu vm?
Thanks!
