Cracking#
- This looks like a md5 hash to me but with a salt
- As we know that hashes are one way so there’s not much that we can do other than using a wordlist and guessing it.
- There’s a tool to crack hashes called
hashcat which can be used to crack hashes using a widely used wordlist named as rockyou.txt
Using hashcat to crack this
hashcat -m 160 "867c9e11faa64d7a5257a56c415a42725e17aa6d:653589" rockyou.txt --force
Getting the flag
867c9e11faa64d7a5257a56c415a42725e17aa6d:653589:pi3141592
- Now it seems that
pi3141592 should be the flag here but no, what you get after putting the salt with hash in hashcat is the password but the whole hash is $password.$salt, which makes it pi3141592653589
flag: castorsCTF{pi3141592653589}
