Subject: PHDays Hash Runner challenge
Hi!
"Hash Runner" online hash cracking challenge will take place during international security conference "Positive Hack Days 2012" (http://phdays.com/program/contests/#6332).
Any Internet user can participate: teams/individuals can register from May, 25 to the end of the challenge (http://phdays.com/personal/?register=yes). Challenge will start on May, 30, 05:00 GMT (09:00 MSK) and will last until the end of conference: May, 31, evening (exact time will be announced later).
Several thousand hashes of different types will be available: NTLM (cost:20), LM (20), DES (120), Oracle (20), SHA1 (20), SSHA1 (60), MD5 (10), md5($pass,$salt) (60), Blowfish(Openbsd) (500), SHA256 (60), GOST3411 (160), md5(phpBB3) (350), md5(wordpress) (350), MySQL5 (20), MSSQL2005 (20) and DCC2 (200). Passwords and rules used to generate hashes are categorized into number of groups to reflect their complexity. Each group has its own modifier formula and ratio which will significantly influence final hash cost. Only base hash costs are available now.
Looking for patterns and thematic passwords is best way to win the challenge.
