Hello, I'm completely new to hashcat and trying to get up to speed as fast as I can. The sheer number of options in hashcat are making it difficult for me to choose what is the best way to extract a password. If someone can help point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
The only information I know:
Unfortunately this is all I have to go by so far. I've tried running commands using the usernames (prepended) with hashcat inputting the remaining characters as uppercase, lowercase, and numbers in every combination for each name. This was unsuccessful.
I started using a dictionary attack (rockyou) where the only rule was that it should use an 8 character password. After looking at the length of time this would take to complete, I quickly exited that mode.
Is there any way to figure out how many characters are in the password?
Can someone please help me figure out more precise commands to crack this password? Like I said before, with so many options available I'm not really sure where to go next. The random attempts I've made either haven't worked, or take so long it's not even worth running.
Thank you in advance for your help!
The only information I know:
- It's a .rar file so -m 13000
- I have 2 possible usernames
- I have the hashed password
