hash lenght and pasword

[Terry]

Hello,
Regarding RAR3-p (Compressed) mode, the hash length certainly has a relationship with the password length. Can I deduce the password length from this?

No way to deduce the password length

Thanks for replying. I have a hash that's 19,000 characters long, that's huge, is there a reason?

Yes, the extraction tool typically picks the smallest file in archive and encodes the content in hex, so probably twice the size of the original file.
