I've been following some tutorials on how to get the password from password protected winrar archives.
I'm a total newbie so it took me some time to even get things started.
It's my own rar archive but its old and I'm pretty sure I had some simple password for it.
So I used John the Ripper to get the hash (I think its called). But the problem is that the hash was pages long? Not just a few lines as in the tutorials. So after some reading I think I got what I need, only the most important line to use.
But it has asterisks in it (*), seven of them. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?
