Hi, So apparently when I've been staring at code all day and tired my brain doesn't tell my hands to type half of what I want it to. I apologise for my last post.
This is my code; import md5 import sys characters=range(48,57)+range(65,90)+range(97,122) def chklength(hash): if len(hash) != 32: print '[-] Improper length for md5 hash.' sys.exit(1) def checkPassword(password): #print password m = md5.new(password) if (m.hexdigest() == hash): print "match [" + password + "]" sys.exit() def recurse(width, position, baseString): for char in characters: if (position < width - 1): recurse(width, position + 1, baseString + "%c" % char) checkPassword(baseString + "%c" % char) print "Target Hash [" + hash+ " string: "+ baseString def brute_force(): maxChars = 32 for baseWidth in range(1, maxChars + 1): print "checking passwords width [" + `baseWidth` + "]" recurse(baseWidth, 0, "") def dictionary(): for line in File.readlines(): checkPassword(line.strip('\n')) hash =raw_input("Input MD5 hash:") option=raw_input("Choose method:1=Brute Force; 0=Dictionary") if(option==1): chklength() brute_force() else: if(option==0): File=open("C:\dictionary.txt") chklength() dictionary() else: print "Wrong method!" And dictionary is working, as is the brute force however the issue I have having is with my chklength() as no matter how many characters I input it skips the !=32 and goes straight to asking the user to chose either Brute Force or Dictionary. I want an error to be shown if the hash is less than or more than 32 characters but at present this chklength() doesn't work as I thought it would. Can anyone point out an obvious error that I am missing?
