try this site….insert the "hash" and you have only to wait. Are you sure that is a hash? It seems a encryped message or a series of differents hash!! Let me know PM me please

Somehow, I have the same idea as you.

Please note that I'm no expert on recognizing types of hashes :p

Heh, thats easy.

Its FreeBSD MD5. Its also taken froma *nix /etc/shadow file.

The hash is $1$waYC6YK8$wn/xVc6qZgYO/57Zyr7ca0

(Note, anymore only Solaris and Linux do /etc/shadow. FreeBSD does NOT.)

Yes, I know that FreeBSD uses /etc/master.passwd, but I was referring to it as FreeBSD MD5 because of how John the Ripper classifyis it.

It would have been more accurate for me to refer to it as a salted MD5.

Sorry if I confused anyone.

Its FreeBSD MD5. Its also taken froma *nix /etc/shadow file.

Was just clarifying that.

Yea, good catch. :)
