Bronze IIITrick or Treat on Specter Street: Ripper's Riddle
Hello Immersive friends,
So I'm a little stuck on Q1 for this lab and would greatly appreciate any form of help :-)
If I am correct in my thinking, I have used the command 'Hashcat' for txt. file - sha512-practice.txt - as my thinking is this is the practice hash?
Once established that sha512-practice.txt uses 7 hash-modes I have selected SHA2-512 and used JtR to input the command to try and crack the hash, but I'm not sure what I may be doing incorrectly?
Unless I have completely got the wrong end of the stick to what the question is asking me?
If you're really stuck, you could always watch the walkthrough up until that point and then pause to continue with the lab.

Your hash format is invalid - try the following instead...
--format=raw-sha512
You can get a list of valid formats with...
john --list=formats - DG
What I like to do is run this command for each file:
hashcat --identify sha512-practice.txtThen you can also try hashcat with the wordlist after identifying the type:
hashcat -m 1700 sha512-practice.txt wordlist.txtJohn works great for the others though. Example:
john --wordlist=wordlist.txt --format=raw-sha512 sha512-practice.txt
