Full Version: Is there support for wildcard characters?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Is it possible to calculate possible solutions for a has wildcard characters in it? In my case I care about match the first 8 characters and last 2 characters in the hash output. I would like to find an input that generate the following output, but the asterisks can be any character: 317c7c27*********************27 (md5 hash)

I was wondering if this was possible?
not really doable. You could write some module for jtr.
can he just do it with a hcmask file?

like this
-1 317c7c27?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1??1?1?1?1?1?1?1?127

(btw the pattern is not exact i was too lazy to count the asterisks)
oh wait youre looking for hashes forget my post lol
that could bring out a new mode tho where you have a list of wordfile and dictionnary and you encode it and compare it against anything that fits the pattern youve devised in this case

317c7c27?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h27

or when parsing the hashfile if theres a ? in the hash you generate all the possible candidate on the fly and add em to the hash list. but from your example you would generate a pretty hefty list so good luck with that. it would be helpful tho for when youre missing 2-3 char from a hash tho...
