Good day to you all.
I tried my best (spent a whole evening) to get the jist of john the ripper or hashcat but I feel I need your help.
The thing is: I got a password protected 7zip-file which contains a simple .txt file.
A 7zip file that I know the password of...well, kinda. I know of which characters it consists of. Also the pattern I kind of remember.
I guess this is the process I need to use (and explained in more simple terms if possible):
https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=combinator_attack
This is how the password would look like. It starts with one or more '?' symbols, proceeds with a capital letter, the following letters switch, then '66' or '66666', continues with one or more '#' symbols and ends again with one or more '?' symbols.
This is one possible pattern:
?LoveIsAllAround66##?
As someone else stated: "You have to feed hashcat the correct password via wordlists, rules, brute force, or masking or a combination of any of those! The art is getting the correct password through hashcat in as few guesses as possible. "
So I need to piece together a powershell code or wordlist to generate a list of all possible permutations, combinations and patterns, right? As described in the wiki above I need 2 dictionaries with all the characters I remember. Also rules.
I got the hashcode but I don't need to check for random passwords. I know it is much to ask but would somebody be so kind to explain to me which code/command I would type to make use of my remembered information?
Thanks for all the insights I get!
