Any suggestions on what i am doing wrong ?

FAQ: How do I extract the hashes from Office (Word, Excel, etc.) documents?
#3
I was able to extract the hashes in the correct format by using office2hashcat.py script. I was also able to run a dictionary attack of 5 random charecter strings on the hashes but it seems the that dictionary file which i generated using PWGen 2.54 did not create all permutation of the passwords, ofcourse the password need not be 5 charecters long, however i know for these specific hashes they are. I reached an average of 16xxx H/s with dictionary and 17xxx with bruteforce ( without wordlist ). Right now i am trying to figure out a proper wordlist creator which will help me generate all possibilities dictionary file based on the charecter set i provide. Suggestions ?

Also, how to fix OpenCL.dll missing issue ? GPU is ATI Raedon x1950 ( another machine ).

Year 2006 called, they want their hardware back. That ancient stuff is not supported.

first of all, --username option is needed,
and mask | maskfile too

Well, I got it working. Seems like the hash format which I was using ( extracted using office2john.py ) was not being recognized by HashCat. So this time I used office2hashcat.py to extract the hashes.

Now I want to try using dictionary with bruteforce, my benchmark is at 17,000 H/s average.

Suggestions on a good dictionary creator ?!?

I tried crunch, made a 376 gig dictionary file on a 500 gig pocket drive; next day that drive was toast. Big Grin
