Thanks for the hints, anyway I was already looking into it.
Until now, I've roughly figured out how they work together, but
something it's still missing in the picture :)
Here are a call dump from a single hash:
-- loading phase --
nds_valid(): ciphertext=...
nds_binary(): ciphertext=...
binary_hash_4()
nds_salt(): ciphertext=...
Loaded 1 password hash (...)
-- testing phase --
nds_valid(): ciphertext=*
nds_valid(): ciphertext=...
nds_binary(): ciphertext=...
nds_salt(): ciphertext=...
nds_set_salt()
nds_set_key()
nds_crypt_all(): count=1
get_hash_0()
binary_hash_0()
get_hash_1()
binary_hash_1()
get_hash_2()
binary_hash_2()
get_hash_3()
binary_hash_3()
get_hash_4()
binary_hash_4()
get_hash_5()
binary_hash_5()
get_hash_6()
binary_hash_6()
nds_cmp_all(): count=1
nds_cmp_one(): index=0
nds_cmp_exact()
-- cracking phase --
...
nds_set_key(): key=mace55 index=0
nds_crypt_all(): count=1
nds_cmp_all(): count=1
...
My questions are:
- what are needed for the binary_hash() and get_hash() functions? From
the testing phase, I supposed they were needed to speedup comparison,
but they aren't used during the cracking phase.
- what is the meaning of the call, in the auto test phase, to
nds_valid() with ciphertext parameter set to "*"?
- would you suggest to crypt many keys at every pass, to gain speed, or
to stick with MAX_KEYS_PER_CRYPT set to 1?
- the hash format I'm adding uses only uppercase passwords. In which way
would you suggest to handle this? For example, converting to uppercase
the keys given in input to nds_set_key()? I'm sure there's a better way
to do it...
Many thanks for every suggestion
