how can I set the mask to a md5 hash result of itself?
#6
You are using the wrong hash mode. You need to use this one:
-m 3710 = md5($salt.md5($pass))

(Note: if you know the original password and are looking for the salt, you need to switch the role of these two and therefore the salt becomes your password which you are trying to find out and the original pass is known and therefore could be seen as your salt)

See https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes


The hash format is like this:
Code:
hash:salt

in your case it is:
Code:
hash:abcd

and your password candidate list should contain the correct password whoes MD5 digest is 8dbxxxx8fb8748dxxxxf1965xxxxe966a (i.e. in this case "simple", without quotes)
