Hey guys, my first post here

I have a problem with this crackme on crackmes.de:
http://www.crackmes.de/users/drakenza/crackme1/

I'v tried solving it, and so far have gotten this:
there are 4 algos,
the first 3 are applied to the password,
4th applied to the name, is a modified sha-1
then the result from the hash is compared against the key
however, I do not think the hash generated from my name (in fact, most names)
will pass the first check, though can easily pass the second

I've tried to use long passwords, passes with dashes, etc. to see if the password is ever 'substr'd but I'm not sure if it ever happens

I must've gotten something wrong

can somebody here be kind enough to spend a bit of time to look at this crackme?
thanks

really appreciate any help, troubled me for a few days now

Sorry for double-post. But I think you guys can solve this kind of thing in minutes. Can you just give me a hint please? even just to look at it?

Since SHA1 is not reversible, use the key generated by it as an input of the 3 first algos, that must be reversed to get the password...

Best regards

Sorry, i guess you misunderstood me, the keygen compares the pass to custom sha-1, which also compares the pass to the 3 algos, that's what confuses me, since if the sha-1 comparison is successful, the 3 algo one will (likely) not be
I think you interpreted it as using first 3 algos, then sha-1, then compare

this has been here for a while now, seriously nobody tried the crackme?

sorry man.

simonzack, author stated: ..it probably wouldn't get any solutions.
so, why trash time?? go to another crackme

thanks, i have moved on to lots of other crackmes, but this crackme is still lying idle, I think i've already forgotten about it :P
the algo just kinda confused me, as i think there's a contradiction
that's why i've asked for some help
I dunno, maybe tiga solved it? (that's why difficulty is changed?)
maybe i'll ask tiga then
