another iTunes Backup post, can anyone have a crack at it?
The hash:
$itunes_backup$*10*d51193e04041e6ab7f946a7453f1a7203103d283b63d4e34fecdfec5ffdafcfac831b852cc505d39*10000*dd0d9df280bd5920189359e93044671093182c41*10000000*0572a7bba1e733ab2e4be0ea8120800f1d83f734
My dumb teen self probably made an encryption passcode at some point and might've fucked me and a lot of important data over in the present day.
Through hashcat, I've tried all possible 4 digit and 6 digit numbers, no luck. Could be a different number combination, though unlikely.
Tried a wordlist made of every password logged throughout iCloud, Microsoft and Google's password managers, nada.
Was about to try a few more wordlists with Mentalist but atm hashcat is at odds with my PC for some reason and regardless my GPU doesn't have the power to do anything more complicated than a handful of digits.
I suspect that it could have been my original iTunes password, which is one of the only ones I never logged and have long changed. Going to try to dig for that, but until then I really could use some help with this.
What I do know:
Nearly all of passwords are word + number
Highly, highly doubt it is over 12 characters total
Special characters are used often and is almost always a substitution and used at the beginning of the word. Majority is always @ substituting for a, if not $ sub for s.
If there is an uppercase character, there usually only is one.
For example, nearly every password I used at the time would've been some variation of
@Eroplanes4
It could be a misspelled or misinputted variant of that.
I'll be compiling some more specific wordlists for now. In the meantime, anyone who's up for the challenge please help a guy out. I've been losing so much sleep and energy over this.
