Subject: NTLM Character Limitation
Hi,
I'm trying to crack a set of NTLM password hashes using John 1.7.2
patched with john-ntlm-v03.diff.gz. All the passwords are known to be
14 characters long and are composed of a known character set. I defined
a custom incremental mode in my john.conf per below:
[Incremental:TIM]
File = $JOHN/all.chr
MinLen = 14
MaxLen = 14
CharCount = 95
When I attempt to start the audit I receive the error:
Loaded 172 password hashes with no different salts (NT MD4 [TridgeMD4])
MaxLen = 14 exceeds the compile-time limit of 8
There are several good reasons why you probably don't need to raise it:
- many hash types don't support passwords (or password halves) longer
than 7 or 8 characters;
- you probably don't have sufficient statistical information to generate
a charset file for lengths beyond 8;
- the limitation applies to incremental mode only.
I understand cracking the longer passwords will be difficult, but I need
to say I tried. Is there a way around this problem? Note that, other
than the occasional script, I'm not a coder. I'm running John on Ubuntu
6.06.
Thanks,
Tim
