MD5: Need Advice

[PWn3R]

Nope, not at all!

I just wrote:

the remaining buffers are all 0

0 means zero and not something else (like insert the salt buffer etc, I didn't write that).

I can't help you more than that, you need to read carefully and try to understand what others tell you, otherwise it won't work!

Thanks philsmd - I am trying very hard to understand, but this is my first time looking at code like this, in this language.

I think I got it now, but I was more concerned about whether I was modifying the right lines, not so much the content. I have corrected the rest with 0s and done that in all the spots those lines relating to prepending the salt are in the files. 

I appreciate your assistance and patience.

Edit: I ran a test with two different values using this command line:

c:\hashcat-3.5.0>hashcat64.exe -m 3710 -a 3 -1 ?l?d --hex-salt --gpu-temp-disable --session=all -p: --status --status-timer=5 -w 2 b29a511163a1869c6f15299a35f81875:14c4b06b824ec593239362517f538b29 ?d?d?d?d?d?d

This is the known provided test account from above, passing in the hex md5 hash of the username as the salt. I tried this with my account as well, and neither found the matching password, just all exhausted.

This is a link to my modified a3.cl file. I did clear out the kernels folder as well, prior to running for the first time.

Thank you again for the help!
