Des Password Cracking And Jtr

I am learning the Ins and Outs of password security and how to test passwords with John The Ripper. Can anyone teach me how to crack this password: .$xvcF8YX41U6

I believe it's a DES encrypted password. I already learned how to decrypt and test MD5 hashes, now I need to test DES passwords.

 

Paug then post one new topic where please teach how to decrypt and test MD5 hashes.

that knowledge will help us

 

look for any DES cracker online, i dont think this is a DES encrypted thing. Check..!

 

i dont think thats a MD5 or a DES encryption i think its a ASCII encryption actually

 

I went to this site and tried to decrypt it in one of those formats but none worked http://www.paulschou.com/tools/xlate/

 

lol dont user a program on decrypting ascii actually ill post a tutorail on how to do it one second

 

Thanx, but is that ASCII?

 

i think so because of all the characters

here is a brief example on decrypting ascii let say i have A 4 5 v k ^ %

A=0
4=+1
5=+2
v=+3
so the first letter always stays with the first one so a will always be A 4+1=5 so so far its

a5

and you keep on adding + to each number

its more difficult but thats just the basic

 

It sound complicated, I will have to read up on that sometime...

 

no its really easy u just have to get the hang of it it pissed me off but i finally got it you can learn it in like 5 minutes lol tis easy

 

Post a tutorial soon mate. how to learn it in 5 mins....
