Hello everyone, I have issues with a 7zip hash being recognized. The 7zip archive is made by Cobian backup tool.
I have tried extracting the hash using hashcat and the john tool. Both methods worked and the extracted 7z hashes are identical. I have tried it in The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) and win 10.
When I try to load the hash for password crunching I get an error that the hash can not be loaded (due to a length issue?)
The hash is in a .txt file and looks like this $7z1$18$0$16$[xxxx], 238 characters in total. Hashcat reads the file as it shows the hash in the .txt file in the error message.
The hash is formatted in a single row. Am I an idiot? Can Cobian have changed the encryption? I can access the archive separately and see the file structure, yet access to the files requires a password.
Thanks
