For the purpose of this tutorial, I will be cracking this hash: “6dcd0f272fbb7f6f8ff3a8a5e96c45aa:Ws)”, which is formatted as “Hash:Salt”, and is from VBulletin 4.x.x.

Open up notepad, paste in the Hash and salt, and save it anywhere on your computer, preferably in the same folder as Password Pro.

Find the place where you saved the text file with the hash inside of it, and open it.
Fill in the boxes as such.


Note: The bottom is the formatting of the hash and salt in the text file, and the top is the algorithm for VBulletin 4.x.There are different algorithm for different hashes check this one for other hash types algorithm here.

Now, go to “Audit->Preliminary Attack”
(For this hash, as it is simple, it should probably crack it with just this.)


Hit the start button, and watch it go.
