My mother used a cloud storage with password to store her family photographs, and now—years later--, she only remembers part of the password. The good news is that the password is short and she remembers all or most of the characters. However, I’ve been struggling with hashcat for weeks, trying to figure out which settings to use for it to recognize the hash.
I know that her account uses PBKDF2 with an “initialization vector”, and I’ve tried nearly every possible algorithm. The hash is not recognized.
Two questions I’m struggling with are:
Where do I use the initialization vector? Does this hash need to be converted to base64, and if so, how can I do that?
Any help would be appreciated.
