Hi everyone,
I used hashcat to crack the hash of an old rar archive, which I don't remember the password.
First of all I ran the command:
Then I removed on the start the string and at the end the string
So what remains isĀ
I found the correct hash format and set it, so I launched hashcat:
The hash is cracked, but the password does not work in the archive. So I also tried with john and the same password inside a wordlist, but it is not detected as cracked. Is it possible that this is a bug? Should I perhaps open a report on github? Do I need to provide the full hash and the detected password? I cannot provide the archive because it contains personal videos.
Thanks
