Is there a way to extract a password hash from AESCrypt archive?
#3
okay, googling a bit more it seems the format is pretty open. The fileformat is described on https://www.aescrypt.com/aes_file_format.html and there is source on https://github.com/kenkendk/sharpaescrypt/ to encrypt/decrypt files.

In the code on https://github.com/kenkendk/sharpaescryp...pt.cs#L523 it seems it uses the password to decrypt a part and hmac a part and compare, if that is equal the password is correct. So this should be doable. However I don't think hashcat can do this right now.
