Realistic 1

[warning SPOILERS] solved it but has trouble with the hash. luckily, I decoded it online where they had a database of hashes.

programs I have :

-john -cain

none of them seemed to give me the results I needed ! What was I doing wrong so I can decrypt it in future ?

markupjohn --wordlist=pathtowordlist pathtohashfile

or

markupjohn --format=asa-md5 --wordlist=pathtowordlist pathtohashfile

I checked and the password is in my wordlist :|

john –format=asa-md5 Well for starters, the format 'asa' is usually a prefix for Cisco hashes, and an md5 hash has a 32 char hexadecimal string. The hash you're trying to decrypt is neither of these two, so you could never crack it with those settings, as it's a mysql hash.

ok, thanks !
