Recovered........: 69481/200000 (34.74%) for now.
Recovered 1k with wordlist, extracted rules and basewords from founds to get another ~20k with other wordlists and rules. Reapeted the process one more time and get that what I have. Too much creepiness for one night even for me ... Just kidding. Great hashes anyway.

Spookie Carnival is going on at its best I think, but the question becomes to me. I'm achive 'Newbie' status. Magic barrier of 50% is standing in front of me and creepy waiting ...

Teach me my Spooky Master. I know it's impossible to know everything. How to easly get another 10% without buying 8x4090 and not making the street lanterns to dim out when I turn on the rig?

Ok, jokes. I'm quite happy with my result, but still:
Recovered/Time......: CUR:95,N/A,N/A AVG:67.73,N/A,N/A (Min,Hour,Day)
Sad to give up, btw, is there any reward for this?

Maybe at least a cheap cemetery lore for a dark'n'cold winter night.

Recovered........: 81368/200000 (40.68%) - still with rules extraction.

I watch with passion and with tears in my eyes romantic comedies in my spare time, so how the hell am I supposed to get metadata taken straight from horror movies. I respect the work you put into creating this hashlist, I tried it and end up with a score of close to 50%. For me and for the omnipresent cancer that would like to eat with pleasure every healthy cell of my body, this is a satisfactory result. Envy for not cracked hashes is not healthy in the long run. At least in my case. My guess is that it can severely deplete the soul and body from vitality, so I don't see the point in looking around the web space on the Internet for some scary metadata to retrieve a few more even scarier plaintexts that will make me feel bad. It just doesn't calculate for me. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the fun.

Glad to see people having fun with it! If there’s any feedback let me know and I can incorporate into future challenge lists for the community.

This was with a mix of standard attacks, phrase attacks, PCFG, Prince, and wordlist+mask attacks.

Thanks 0.0.0.0 for the theme and fun!

Do not see a way to edit the OG post, but after some feedback, I think the following is a better % rating:

Beginner: 30%
Novice: 40%
Intermediate: 50%
Skilled: 60%
Adept: 70%
Veteran: 80%

That being said, this list is just to practice and the above percentages are solely goals to keep people motivated and reflect how hard it is to find more hashes at a certain tier. The entire exercise is all for fun, and thank you to everyone who gave it a shot!

I've updated original post for you, plus I'm running now also

Thanks so much! Excited to see what you think of it.

Initial run got me 51% with large rule set and some masks. I can see a lot patterns but would take time to exploit properly. Great work on the 86.01% flagg

If this is the same contest that was on Discord ... I haven't been working on it for a couple of days, and there are definitely some remaining patterns not yet exhausted, so you can probably beat my number!
Cracked: 183823 / 200000 - 91.911500%

@tychotithonus Nice job!

It is the same that was posted and very impressive! The final items are crazy difficult, I did not expect anyone to get quite this far.

[cyclone]

Gave this one final run.
