Help with Axcrypt

Hello,

This is Svante, the author of AxCrypt. The terminology is a bit confusing, AxCrypt is not a hashed password store, so what you're looking for is not a hash as such, but the KeyWrap1, A 128-bit Data Enc Key wrapped with 128-bit KEK, Header Block Type 4. Not sure just what parameters hashcat requires but you may have to break out the iteration count as well. See http://www.axcrypt.net/documentation/technical/ for a description of the file formats. AxCrypt 1 and AxCrypt 2 differs, but the general idea is the same. If you have a file encrypted with AxCrypt 2, it's Header Block Type 13 you want - but I don't think hashcat supports this currently.

The AxCrypt module for Hashcat also supports breaking AxCrypt 1 in-memory representation of the password derived key, but this is typically only useful if you are attacking a running AxCrypt process where the legitimate user has entered the password. It is unlikely to be useful for legitimate password recovery.
