Hi guys,
I was recently auditing some md5crypt ($1) Unix hashes on CentOS. For dictionary entries size 1-15 I was using oclHashcatplus, while for bigger ones I was using hashcat 0.41, since I've read here that hashcat 0.41, the CPU version, has much higher password limits (55).
I was extremely surprised to discover that for -m 500 (md5crypt), even in hashcat 0.41, the limit is still 16 chars.
Can somebody please confirm / infirm this?
Thanks,
Paul
