Hello Friends,
Can someone point me in the direction of info relating to converting Salts to HEX?
I have a few databases that contain salts with special characters such as ":" and I would like to convert them to HEX, for input into Hashcat. I'm ultimately trying to navigate away from all the mess associated with ":" and other mistaken delimiters. I have been trying find info on the wiki with no luck.
I did learn about the output formats, which seems helpful to convert the plain to HEX, but I didnt see one that works for outputting HEX salts?
I also looked into the "--hex-salt" flag, but if I'm correct, that is for salts that have already been converted (that's how it worked for me anyway).
I was able to find a function in Notepad++ that converts the ASCI salts into HEX, but not on a mass level, I'd have to go line by line.
There must be a python script out there that someone has written for this right? What am i missing?
Thanks for any insight, and sorry for any headaches!
