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

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

[SpOonWiZaRd]

Thanx, but is that ASCII?

[XXxxImmortalxxXX]

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...
