Scrypt + Salsa20/8 128 128
#1
Hi,

I am having trouble figuring out why Scrypt is easily being cracked using John, however hashcat is not able to with both CPU and GPU (I understand that using GPU may not really work when working with Scrypt but CPU is not helping either)

Here are two examples:
< here was a hash >
< here was a hash >

(Each salt and hash lengths are equal to 43)

John identifies the hashes as Scrypt [Salsa20/8 128 128 AVX] and cracks them fine.


I have tried using the following format for hashcat (notice "=" have been added for both Salt+Hash to match the hashcat line-length):

< here was a hash >

I have also tried varying cost values of N, r, p, but still no luck.

Is it a bug or am I missing something?
