Are you serious?! Why would you run hashcat in md5/sha1/... mode for a hash so clearly NOT md5/sha1/.... ?!?
These modes have a name for a reason. You are supposed to use md5 mode with md5 hashes. Just md5 hashes!
You can't just mix and match and e.g. hope to crack a bcrypt hash in sha1 mode. LOL.
Have you tried mode 22931?
Sure looks like it could fit your hash.
Next time compare your hash to these: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes
to find the right mode.
And while you're at it, maybe have another look at the wiki, just so you understand what you are actually doing.
Oh, and be careful with posting hashes. People around here don't take kindly to that sorta thing.
Oh come on dude, didn't I say that I couldn't figure out the mode? Let me quote that once again..
"I'm trying to crack the ssh private key hash but I can't figure out the mode the hash function uses. I don't even know if hashcat is able to crack this "sshng" hash type."
Like I said I don't know the mode the hashcat needs for sshng hash type(not even sure that hashcat can do this) so, I'm asking a simple question as I'm curious & want to know if Hashcat can do that but, you seemed a legend of sarcasm.
Don't worry about the hash posted here. It's just a sample(I know the key) I'm trying to figure out using the hashcat. I know the consequences of posting the original ssh key hash. Please Don't refer me to the link(https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes). I have been using this link since 2010 & I'm very well aware of that. Do you know if hashcat can do it or do I have to go back to the old school john the ripper?
Yes, I have tried 22911, 22921, 22931, 22941, and 22951 with no luck.
The error
hashcat (v6.1.1) starting...
Cannot load module ./modules/module_22911.dll
In a previous version of hashcat it says Unknown hash type no hash loaded.
Anyway thanks for the quick response
