one of the difficulties of chatting online with cool techy trans girls is that it can at times be difficult to tell a keysmash from an encryption key

@gsuberland @scy @foone I typed the hash into the computer and it says that "one or several hashes doesn't seem to be valid" *insert pic of Andy from Parks and Rec*

@gsuberland @foone I am not going to download keccak rainbow tables for a shitpost.

@tachi @scy @foone if you're using hashcat that means you need to prefix the hash with the correct format for the hash type you specified in the command line args

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@tachi @scy @foone which should be sha3-256 (keccak)

@foone huh I didn't see you in the chat with goddess and kitten

[bloognoo@retro.pizza]

@foone
From now on I will use this handy rhyme

'If it uses valid hex,
Then it isn't flirty text,
If it has P, L, U, R or T,
Then it won't work as a key'

There are going to be exceptions, but aren't there always...

[foone@digipres.club]

@0 weird. It's simply impossible that there's two separate chats that feature both a Goddess and a kitten, right?

[byte@rage.love]

@gsuberland @foone can’t find a table online that has the preimage for that one

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@Byte @foone you could also throw it into hashcat with a simple dictionary search

[byte@rage.love]

@gsuberland @foone I didn't have a local rainbow table tool installed at the time

I will look into that

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@Byte @foone if you wanna spoil yourself a bit, save the effort, you could also just search the internet for the hash. tons of tables have online indices so they show up in DDG results. but that's a bit less fun

[byte@rage.love]

@gsuberland @foone i figured it out

hashcat -m 17400 -a 3 $HASH

made the fans spin and gave me the output.

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@Byte @foone success! \o/

[foone@digipres.club]

@Byte @gsuberland congratulations for going to such effort for such a silly joke!

(no, really, congrats. I hope that was fun!)

[byte@rage.love]

@foone @gsuberland it was

[xssfox@cloudisland.nz]

@foone "do you want to fuck or for me to fire up the hashcat rig?"

[foone@digipres.club]

@xssfox why not both? maybe it's a cold winter and you need to keep the room warm

@foone polycule hash collision

@0 I'm surprised it took this long to happen (a week), I imagine there's lots of chats with kittens and Goddesses is them
