Hashcat with password hints? - skagur0329 - 10-05-2020
Hi I currently have a list of words/phrases (27 of them) that are most definately included in the password.
And the password is a combination of those 27 words (could be a combination of multiple of those words, but are used only once)
I have tried using princeprocessor and pipe it into hashcat, but looking at the candidate passwords that are piped into hashcat, it does not seem to be working as I thought.
And since the password is longer than 9 characters, I do not need any candidates less than that.
The command I used is as follows:
The file with the 27 words is : hints.txt
The hashfile : hash.txt
./pp64 hints.txt | hashcat -m 0 hash.txt
The password is 100% one of the combination of the words in the hints.txt file.
Any tips or thoughts I can try?
Thank you in advance.

Princeprocessor should be the right tool to crack such a hash. It simply concatenates the different strings in your hints.txt file to generate candidates, what were you expecting?
It is possible to set a minimum output length of princeprocessor by using the parameter --pw-min=X (see pp64 --help)
