Stage 2

reading up on the linkedin database with sha1 encryption

After that i will set my effort onto something else..

ran grep -v ’00000′ SHA1.txt > SHA1_crackable.txt

This removed the codes with the 00000 at the start  and gave me a fresh
list of SHA1 hashes

 ./cudaHashcat-plus64.bin -a 3 -m 100 /home/user1/SHA1_crackable.txt ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l -o /home/user1/linkedin_brute8lower.txt

./cudaHashcat-plus64.bin  - this is the exe file
-a  - this is the type of attack
3 - this is the actual attack implemented.
-m -this denotes the type hash to attack
100  - this shows its SHA1 hash
/home/user1/SHA1_crackable.txt this is the file to read the hashes from
?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l this shows an 8 char password
-o output
/home/user1/linkedin_8lower.txt actual file to output too
This takes about 15 minutes to run and doesn't produce many of the hashes
