NEWB Needs help with OS X Lion hash
#1
I have the following OS X Lion hash:
<removed>

What I know:
It is 8 characters long (I've seen it typed, I'm absolutely sure)
Using several mask attacks I know that it is NOT:
?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?d
?u?l?l?l?l?l?l?d
?l?l?l?l?d?d?d?d
?u?l?l?l?d?d?d?d

I figured that these were fairly probable. I have spent the past few days trying different options for figuring out how to crack this hash. So I ask the community for assistance. I am of course interested in the result, but I am also curious in how to get there. How would you proceed from here to crack it? I have also tried several wordlists, but I am much less clear on how to effectively use them. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to the forums. Since you neglected to follow the rules, I have locked your account for a week and closed this thread. Please take the 7 days to read the forum rules, after which, I hope you become a useful member of this community. We don't like hand holding around here, so if it doesn't take the full week for you to complete your reading, you can head over to the wiki and educate yourself before posting a question that is already listed in the existing documentation.
