so i have a hash for a Rar file its very small 164 bytes, however i need to know the contents of whats inside of this rar file and there is currently no clue about what the password might be, here is the hash extracted by john the ripper and reached 6/15 characters with hashcat brute forcing, but i guess my hardware isnt doing this fast enough, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Code

$RAR3$*0*03ff96533b4193ca*19e0098d2c0baa80ded217ce658beca5

if we could maybe guess how long the password is or something, or any ideas would be very helpfull to get this cracked

John the ripper or hashcat /rarcrack will help greatly, RAR files which are encrypted with 128/256 AES which basically means that it'd be cracked in time for Pangea to be once again. You can try bruteforcing of course who knows some people have crummy passwords. If you want to have an idea of the contents you can use less command in Linux I used this a few times with zip files not yet with rar files, but worth a try unrar has a "list" option once again not sure how it would work since without the password the files are not extracted.

Tell ya what I'll do some testing and see where it goes.

Edit: I made an excrypted rar and opened it in ghex I oddly found the file which I had compressed and the file is encrypted.



Now I used WinRAR 5.20

unrar l also produced a file list

I am not cracking or messing with the password simply listing the files that is all that way you can make a decision on whether or not you wish to crack or attempt to crack it.

hello friend sorry for the inconvenience

I have a big problem right now is that I have a $RAR3$*1 file and I tried all the possible ways that I found on forums like John or HashCat but nothing or impossible for me

Reviving a 4-year-old post? Anyway, you just haven't tried the right password yet. Password cracking is playing percentages.

Post the hash when you have it.
