What is FreeBSD MD5 and why does it produce hashes in non-hexadecimal notation?
问题 I am doing a hacking challenge from Hack This Site in which I found a password hash and then cracked it by brute forcing possibilities. The format that my hash cracker (John the Ripper) used was something called "FreeBSD MD5". The password and hash are the following: PW: shadow HASH: $1$AAODv...$gXPqGkIO3Cu6dnclE/sok1 My question is, doesn't MD5 normally only have the charset 0123456789abcdef (hexadecimal)? Why is this hash suddenly including a bunch of other characters? Screenshot: 回答1: This
