Hi Guys,
First time posting on this kind of forum, so go easy on me please.
I want to see how fast I can brute force a SHA1 hash based on an input of between 53 and 55 characters.
Essentially I want to retrieve a shared key value which is inserted into a hash function surrounded by non-secret content
e.g. PublicInfo|foo|sharedkey|bar|1234
I know the first 8 characters, and I know the final 37 of the SHA1 input.
I also know that the missing 8-10 characters are alphanumeric only (no special characters)
Can i get hashcat to spit out the correct 8-10 characters to produce the hash I have?
What is involved in getting this setup to run?
