Single DES Mask & command advice
#1
I'm playing with a DES calculator and I have an 8 byte hex key and 8 byte input data, both in hex format.
The output data from the DES encryption is also an 8 byte hex.

I'm moving my fest steps in hashcat and trying to retrieve 8 byte key given the 8 byte input data and 8 byte output data from the DES encryption.

This is a standard/traditional single DES encryption.

So I'm thinking of using hashcat.exe -m 14000 <des input data>:<des_output_data> --hex-charset

But I'm not sure what other types of optimizations I could add to this or what type of masks I should be using to optimize things.
