Hello.
This is my first post here, but please know that I have been reading extensively, going through google and this forum and the page's wiki and feel I do have an unanswered question (though the answer will no doubt be obvious to whoever knows it, just like watching Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
)
I didn't see anything in the forum rules about posting (or not posting) external links, so I hope it's alright to post one to help clarify the question.
Which is this:
I am focusing my efforts and interests on hash type 3810 -- md5($salt.$pass.$salt).
My hash is in hex (32 characters, 16 hex).
My current understanding of md5($salt.$pass.$salt) is that this 32-bit hex string is sufficient/appropriate.
However, the example on the hashcat wiki for hash type 3810 (as well as several other hash types) is suffixed with ":1234".
My question is: what is this "1234" at the end? It seems generic, as it's appended to several other hash type examples. But where does it come from?
Before beginning to experiment with hashcat, my research brought me to this page:
http://www.insidepro.com/hashes.php?lang=eng
which provides sample output for various hash types, and the md5($salt.$pass.$salt) hash shown there is only 32 bits long, just like my hash that I'm working with.
Using the 3810 hash type on my 32-bit hash obviously throws a "line length exception" error, and testing with the example from the wiki page does not throw the error. So I'm scratching my head over this ":1234" and haven't yet dug up anything to explain it. Maybe it's too obvious and I'm missing the forest for the trees.
Hope the question makes sense.
Many thanks.
