Penetration Testing: RE: Netscape Ldap ldif file SHA password cracking

["David Cross" <davidcross () post-n-track com>]

Your decode will be 4 bytes to 3.  By my count you should have a value 21
characters in length (the standard size of a Sha1 hash value).

The value decoded will likely be unprintable characters.

Cheers!

So for instance I have:

Ufg2qpbbabSRrOGhVLsvpZHshTc=
(Base-64)

The decode would be:
Q6iT/7

Does that look right?

Thanks
