I'm lost just like Axl Rose is.
I am new to the hashcat application but it looks very cool. I downloaded it and installed it and then I downloaded the cracklib-words file which is about 16MB of pre-generated (or simply known) dictionary passwords.
It failed to get my KeePass 1.x password back to me.
So, what do I do now...look for bigger dictionary files or what?
***** EDIT *****: On a related question, I might be more interested in actually getting a password generator. Because my passwords, sometimes, follow a general pattern. And I could create all the combinations using that general pattern to test them myself afterwards. What tools could be recommended for generating a password file using patterns that hashcat could take as input to brute-force?
Thanks for reading!
