Hey everyone, I’m new to the whole password thing. I’m doing a school project on password security, and I’ve been using Hashcat. I don’t expect all of you to use Hashcat but I bet a few of you do. Anyway, I’m using windows and I’ve come across a few issues. Thanks in advance if you can help.
First, any attack will work once and then not work immediately after. I’m only cracking passwords with MD5 hashing, nothing too complicated. Anyone know what’s going on with it?
Second, is there a way to take into account special characters that replace alphanumerics in brute force? For example, @ can replace “a” but I don’t want to add special characters in brute force because it will add a bunch of time.
