Full Version: Specify Iterations/Rounds in MD5 (m=0)

Hey folks,

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to specify a number of rounds/iterations. I need so crack a password that was hashed with 5 iterations of MD5, no salt. So:

MD5(MD5(MD5(MD5(MD5(password)))))

Is there a way to specify iterations in the normal -m 0 mode? I know that you can do this with md5crypt but it uses a salt and would therefore lead to the wrong result.

I tried to supply the to-cracking-hash in this way:

$rounds=5$123....789

But I get a line-length exception so I guess thats not the right way. I only found sources on how to find to specify the rounds of md5crypt and other speccs that already use multiple rounds/iterations.
No there isnt. You are looking for quintuple md5 (hashcat supports up to triple I think?).
