Hello guys,
I need your help with an 15 years old rar file. I began to research and found hashcat and john the ripper. So far ok, I have an AMD Ryzen CPU with 24 Cores and 128 GB Ram, so I've created in HyperV a VM with 12 CPUs and 64GB. Now, I've got the hash from John the Ripper, which showed winrar3. The file from John was lst format, so I've copied it to notepad and saved as *.hash then I put the rar file and *.hash file in the same folder as hashcat.
Now, I have problem "organizing" all arguments which I want to use. From what I read in help this is is my selection:
- To significantly improve performance use -w 3
- 3 - ?l?d?u?! (lowercase, digits, uppercase and two selected special characters)
- [ Outfile Formats ] - 2 | plain - I want to view the password
- [ Attack Modes ] - 3 | Brute-force - noone remembers eve
- [ OpenCL Device Types ] - 1 | CPU + 2 | GPU - Would it help to use both because the Videocard is very weak
- [ Workload Profiles ] - 3 | High | 96 ms | High | Unresponsive 4 | Nightmare | 480 ms | Insane | Headless - as it is a VM for only this, it doesn't matter if it is nightmare
So, is it possible to do it and how to arrange options to execute the command?
Thanks in advance
