My teacher is giving us a task to crack the password of .des file, He gave us the authority to make the password, and suggested that we make a weak password. His instruction was really confusing because he say's to use Kleopatra to encrypt the .txt file using the DES Algorithm and save it as a .des file.
then after that his asking to bruteforce it using hashcat.
now the 1st problem I saw on the instruction is the Kleopatra doesn't support .des or producing any .des encryption file (correct if i'm wrong)
2nd on the hashcat i look for the hashmode of the .des
(source found in : https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes )
|| || |14000| 8DES (PT = $salt, key = $pass) |a28bc61d44bb815c:1172075784504605|
idk if this was right because when I tried to use a online des encyription this is the hash result that it gaved me is different
6pYmTRrtkXOC5CJCWEH0Sg==
it's not similar to the hash in hashcat wiki. So I'm kinda stuck on a dead end here, I look for other forums or articles on bruteforcing the .des hash using hashcat but didn't find anything.
I still also tried using hashcat to decrypt the des file, but still doesn't work.
rn i'm stuck on a dead end on how to decrypt this thing using bruteforce.
I don't know if coding it would work, but if you guys have any idea how to bruteforce a .des hash please share your knowledge on how to crack this .des
