Hashcat Help Tricks

Find Hash Format Modules

Find supported hash types

hashcat -h | grep -i <hash_type>

Show info about the SHA-256($salt.$pass) mode

hashcat --hash-info -m 1410

Example.Hash........: 5bb7456f43e3610363f68ad6de82b8b96f3fc9ad24e9d1f1f8d8bd89638db7c0:12480864321

Note the example hash shows the hash and salt separated by a colon

Show info about the PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 mode

hashcat --hash-info -m 10900

Example.Hash........: sha256:1000:NjI3MDM3:vVfavLQL9ZWjg8BUMq6/FB8FtpkIGWYk

Pay careful attention to the example hash above, as you'll note in the colon-separated fields that the hash is a base64-encoded string, with the presence of the / character. Both the salt and the hash should be base64-encoded.

Note example hash shows the algorithm, iterations, salt, and hash all separated by a colon
