I’ve found a hash for h***. I can’t seem to crack it with john or hashcat. They just finish immediately. Should I be using a non standard wordlist?

Hey. I assume that you got the hash from appropriate version of bludit from the initial shell.

Once you got the hash, i suggest you to analyze the type of hashing used with the below link.

Then use John or Hashcat to perform cracking based on the hash format you got from the above link.
John/Hashcat will crack it against rockyou.txt.
You can get the rockyou.txt file in here https://github.com/finnfassnacht/rockyou.txt

If not worked out, then you can use the below link to crack the hash without mentioning the has format.
(**Note this link will work only for very commonly used passwords.)

Hope this will help you out.
:wink: Good luck.
