Hey Folks,

I'm pretty new to using Hashcat and cracking passwords, I've played around and tried some tests, I've used some hash lists from korelogic's crack me if you can contest, and I've had some minor successes. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on good places to start learning. Is there any fundamental place to start? Any readings or documentation that you think would be helpful would be greatly appreciated.

I have lots of questions about how it all works for example:
How do encryption engines use salts?
How do you crack hashes when salts are used?
Do you need to know the salt to crack a hash?
How do you tell what type of hash it is by looking at it?

Any pointers on good resources to learn more would be greatly appreciated. If you have any info just let me know.

Thanks in advance
