Subject: Some 7Zip hashes can't be cracked?
Hello all,
I have a sample of an encrypted 7Zip file (I know the password). When I use
7z2john.pl on it, I get *a long hash (492 kb)*. Then when I try using john
with the known password (i.e. through stdin or wordlist) - it finishes
unsuccessfully.
However, if I create an encrypted 7Zip sample myself - *the hash is small
(112 bytes)* - and it works fine.
The only difference I could see myself between the two is that 7Zip says
the first file is encrypted with *LZMA2:768k BCJ 7zAES*. While my sample is
encrypted with *LZMA2:12 7zAES*.
(I can share the first sample, but it has malware in it (I'm a malware
researcher), so it can't go in this email).
Am I doing something wrong? OR are there simply some methods / hashes that
john doesn't handle.
Regards,
Jonathan
