Creating Wordlist from specific characters and numbers using Mentalist or similar program

I have locked myself out of my Win 10 Microsoft account by forgetting my password and need to get back into it. I have extracted the hash for the account.
I’ve been researching wordlists and hash cracking and think I’ve got a hang of the a… Continue reading Creating Wordlist from specific characters and numbers using Mentalist or similar program

What hash based digital signature algorithms exist that have reasonably small signature sizes? [migrated]

What hash based digital signature algorithms exist that have reasonably small signature sizes?

By reasonably small, I mean not much bigger than what you would get with a 256-bit ECDSA (which I believe has a signature of about 64 bytes). … Continue reading What hash based digital signature algorithms exist that have reasonably small signature sizes? [migrated]

How to find a hash collision on the hash function h1 : {0, 1}B ×{0, 1}B→{0, 1}B , h1(x, v) = E(x, v) ⊕x [closed]

show that one can efficiently find collisions in hi; That is, for each hi find v‖x not equal to v′‖x′ such that hi(v‖x) = hi(v′‖x′). The attack “knows” the construction, and in particular the block cipher E, which has an efficient inversio… Continue reading How to find a hash collision on the hash function h1 : {0, 1}B ×{0, 1}B→{0, 1}B , h1(x, v) = E(x, v) ⊕x [closed]

I have an unknown hash. Can you help me identify it [duplicate]

I have an unknown hash (atleast i think it is something that got encrypted). Is there some way to identify what encryption algorithm has been used.
This is it:

Any ideas on what might have been used to encode/hash/encrypt these? I’ve tried base64, base32, MD5 and SHA1 [closed]

I’m not an expert on this topic but I know a little about hashing and encryption which is why I tried the algos mentioned above. I have reason to believe they correlate with the colors down below but other than the algos I listed above I’m… Continue reading Any ideas on what might have been used to encode/hash/encrypt these?

Disabled MD5 and enabled SHA under SCHANNEL/Hashes in registry. xfreerdp fails with an ssl i/o error

So delving into securing server and not quite understanding how I broke the ability to rdp into my server (using xfreerdp). I disabled MD5 as an available hash and enabled SHA. The exact changes in the registry I made were to:
