How would you approach cracking this NTLM hash? There’s clues to the password but I can’t quite get it.

I’m working on an assignment where I crack passwords.

Quick rundown:

I used Mimikatz to extract usernames and their NTLM hashes, then used WeakPass_3a and hashcat to get most of the passwords.

I’m trying to crack the hash for username “Charlie Brown” which my instructor said will be the hardest and is worth a bonus. However, there’s a pattern here:

Other usernames include Peanuts characters and their passwords seem to directly involve their characteristics.

Clues:

Username: Lucy

Password: 4s&7yago

Username: Linus

Password: SecurityBlanket

Username: Woodstock

Password: !@#$%*()

I tried using ChatGPT to generate long wordlists of aspects related to Charlie Brown but none worked. What I can deduce is 4s&7ago is related to Lucy’s bold character, similar to Lincoln, Linus has a security blanket, and Woodstock only ever talks in symbols in the comic strip.

How else can I approach this? I really want to get this hash cracked and get that bonus! I appreciate any help and insight!
