Subject: cracking HMAC-SHA1 (key=salt)
Hi,
In a CTF I've got a number of hashes, this one is driving me nuts trying to crack it with john:
hash: e5d8870e5bdd26602cab8dbe07a942c8669e56d6
salt: tryhackme
The supposed to be password is: 481616481616
Identified it with hashid, gives a number of possibilities.
There are a number of writeups, all solve the CTF with hashcat.
Some of them with hashcat mode 110, others with mode 160.
hashcat mode 110 is sha1($pass.$salt), hashcat mode 160 is HMAC-SHA1 (key = $salt)
As far as I can see, hashcat mode 110 should be equivalent to JtR dynamic_24 sha1($p.$s). But that doesn't crack it.
trying to ensure dynamic_24 works as advertized:
echo -n '481616481616tryhackme' | sha1
and putting this into a hash file for john:
userID:$dynamic_24$5d0374a36358da86f4932a598485b546de204908$tryhackme
john is able to crack it, maybe the CTF writeups with hashcat mode 110 are bogus.
others writeups use hashcat mode 160, and from output of hashid:
[+] HMAC-SHA1 (key = $pass) [Hashcat Mode: 150][JtR Format: hmac-sha1]
[+] HMAC-SHA1 (key = $salt) [Hashcat Mode: 160][JtR Format: hmac-sha1]
checking here: https://www.freeformatter.com/hmac-generator.html#ad-output
giving the password and the secret key here, I indeed end up with the hash given
in the CTF, so verified the hash indeed is HMAC-SHA1 (key = $salt) .
prepared hash file for john:
tryhackme#e5d8870e5bdd26602cab8dbe07a942c8669e56d6
however, john --format=HMAC-SHA1 doesn't crack it, as it's using the password as key,
instead of the salt.
I was looking through the formats john supports, as well as the DYNAMIC documentation,
but was unable to spot anything that could help me to crack that hash with john.
Can I crack HMAC-SHA1 (key=salt) hashes with JtR, am I overlooking something?
cheers,
Sebastian
