This is my first post here, thank you for reading.

I have an old zip file to crack, it is from 2001 but may be from 2003 as the file inside is from 2003

Hascat wont run on it, it keeps giving me  "Separator unmatched" or "No hashes loaded" or " Token length exception"

When I tried to use version 5 or 6 I got this

"Unknown hash-type '17200' selected"

I tried everything already, too many to list here, all ideas and commands google AI gave me I did

Is there a way to make a hash from this old file that will work on version 7.1.2 and my Nvidia GTX 1650?

Thanks]]>

I know I need a "hash" or something which was very confusing for me because the previous guide required the phone to be unlocked and access its files to find the "hash" which to me defeats the purpose of recovering your password if your phone is already unlocked am I missing something here? 

I have a windows 11 pc with a ryzen 5 5600g processor and using its integrated gpu which is equivalent to NVIDIA GT 1030. But can also rent a high end pc if needed. This phone is everything to me I am willing to wait and learn I dont care how long it takes I just need to know how do I do it. Please help me.]]>

I am attempting to recover a Linux user password, and in the decade since the last time I used jtr and hashcat things have changed on me. The system is using yescrypt, and I'm having difficulty reformatting the shadow line to match hashcat's format. 

From the example hashes wiki page it needs to follow this format:
SCRYPT:16384:8:1:OTEyNzU0ODg=:Cc8SPjRH1hFQhuIPCdF51uNGtJ2aOY/isuoMlMUsJ8c=

The shadow hash has this this format: `$y$j9T$salt$hash`.

Following along with this SO answer the j9T should correspond to SCRYPT:182:4096:32Confusedalt:hash. Using this line with mode -m 70200 results in a token length or encoding exception.

I also came across the format hash guidance wiki page, which mentions the difference between Linux hashes and the expected format for hashcat, but has TBD for a conversion tool. 

I'd appreciate any troubleshooting advice.]]>

I’m looking for some guidance from those with experience in password recovery/cracking.
For nearly a year, I’ve been trying to recover access to an old Bitcoin wallet (wallet.dat from 2013). I extracted the hash and have been attempting to crack it using an RTX 3060, but haven’t had any success so far.
Recently, I discovered Vast.ai and was able to run jobs on more powerful GPUs (including an RTX 5090). I was hopeful this would make a difference, but unfortunately, I still haven’t had any luck.

So far, I’ve tried:
  • Variations of old passwords I may have used
  • Brute force with numeric ranges (0–10 digits)
  • Short brute-force masks (1–5 characters, all character sets)
  • Large wordlists (including weakpass and similar sources)

At this point, I’m considering expanding brute-force attempts to longer character lengths, but I’m concerned about cost vs. benefit.
I’d really appreciate advice on:
  • The most efficient GPU(s) for this type of workload
  • Cost-effective strategies (especially when using rented compute like Vast.ai)
  • Smarter approaches beyond pure brute force (mask strategies, rule-based attacks, etc.)

Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
]]> Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some guidance from those with experience in password recovery/cracking.
For nearly a year, I’ve been trying to recover access to an old Bitcoin wallet (wallet.dat from 2013). I extracted the hash and have been attempting to crack it using an RTX 3060, but haven’t had any success so far.
Recently, I discovered Vast.ai and was able to run jobs on more powerful GPUs (including an RTX 5090). I was hopeful this would make a difference, but unfortunately, I still haven’t had any luck.

So far, I’ve tried:
  • Variations of old passwords I may have used
  • Brute force with numeric ranges (0–10 digits)
  • Short brute-force masks (1–5 characters, all character sets)
  • Large wordlists (including weakpass and similar sources)

At this point, I’m considering expanding brute-force attempts to longer character lengths, but I’m concerned about cost vs. benefit.
