Subject: Re: Charset options
Hi list,
is it possible to crack SAP RFC password hashes (its from rfcdes like
written here http://marc.info/?l=john-users&m=113450841312517 )?
The format is:
User Hash
RFC_TEST C4520A225A6A69429C6C7689B85AB01F
and thats longer than a sapB or sapG hash. The password is abcdefgh
My first guess was that its md5 but when I start john
with RFC_TEST:C4520A225A6A69429C6C7689B85AB01F it says LM and cant crack it
with given wordlist. If I force it to md5 => no passwords loaded.
Any clues?
Thanks
Max
