SE 2 Hash
Right, I found the dir for the logs but theiir encrypted, so i used Cain & Abel Brute Force attack and its been going for like 6hrs and says it'll take another 11yrs. It's an md5 hash right? I know his username and ID but can't crack the hash, why is it taking so long am i doing something wrong? Please help I've been doing this forever.
usually brute-forcing a password takes a while. I prefer JTR over Cain's brute-forcer, even though I once had to wait 13 hours to force crack an md5. you just have to be patient. If you have a good wordlist, try a dictionary attack. Otherwise, leave Cain or JTR running while you go to sleep. That's what I do. Nothing's better than waking up to the smell of a cracked hash.
Well the best wordlist I know is available at ftp://ftp.openwall.com/pub/wordlists/all.gz It's 12Mb zipped :D
And we have some good online MD5 libraries too.
I mostly use the following pages:
