Bcrypt help for a dummy
#1
I have a 4 digit pin (0-9 x4) that's been hashed in Bcrypt. 

I've always been told to just avoid Bcrypt since working with it is so time-consuming. However, I feel optimistic about trying this one, as I know there are only 10,000 possibilities. 

What would be the best way to approach this? Would it be too time-consuming to even attempt? 

I know this will be seen as a stupid question, but I've had a hard time finding advice relevant to my situation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

With a single hash as the target, start up the attack - hashcat -a 3 ?d?d?d?d - and see what the time estimate is, and assess whether you want to wait that long. Smile

It might be faster to run that attack on your CPU than on your GPU. You should try both and compare their speeds.
