md5(salt.pass) troubles and tricks

[mastercracker]

Hmm. Really strange

But anyway my salt has 8 bytes, not 2.

Just make a rule to prepend your salts to every password and use plain MD5 (-m 0) with oclhashcat-plus. However, this will cover only password from 1 to 7 characters. If you truncate your salt and put part as salt and part in the rule file you can increase it to 9 characters (using -m 21) but it starts to be a lot of trouble. From what I have understood, the next version of -plus will have generic mode again that you will be able to use.
