What is the Best way to recover a MyBB pass
#1
The hash I'm dealing with is md5(md5($salt).$pass) and a salt (a random 8 character string) which from my understanding is option 6 on hashcat and option 2811 on Plus and Lite.

On hashcat I try:
hashcat-cli64.exe --hash-mode 6 --attack-mode 3 --output-file C:\recovered.txt --custom-charset1 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 !”#$%&'()*+,-./:;⇔?@[\]^_`{|}~ --threads 4 C:\hashes.txt ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

and it seems to hang up when it gets to 5 characters.


on Plus I try:
cudaHashcat-plus64.exe --hash-type 2811 --attack-mode 7 --custom-charset1 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 !”#$%&'()*+,-./:;⇔?@[\]^_`{|}~ C:\hashes.txt ?1?1?1?1?1 C:\wordlist.dic

with a 1GB word list (no duplicates in it) and it says it will take 980 years.. lol and it's not dropping very much per hour (sometimes a few years at best but then goes back up at times too).


I'm running a Quadro 600 and an i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz (12GBs DDR3).

So is there a better way I could go about this?
I know the original phrase is strong and could be between 8 and 18 characters and the hash is 32 characters long.
Thank you for support.

edit-
Oddly enough, this is for a MyBB 1.6.8 password and I see this site uses the same software.. so perhaps admin could give some insight to this? Smile
