RAR3 hashing algorithm

I came accross a hash that starts as follows, which I'm trying to reverse: $rar3$*1*

However, I can't seem to find a rainbow table for the rar3 hashing algorithm.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Rainbow tables won't work: RAR passwords, why don't rainbow tables work?

$RAR3$0, which is RAR with opening-password, is supported by Hashcat. [2]

It is created with the -hp option: [3]

-hp option, which encrypts the internal block headers that contain file metadata, as well as the content of the files

-p option, which encrypts only the content of the files in the archive, while file metadata (filenames...) are not encrypted

$RAR3$1, which is created with -p, is not supported by Hashcat. You can try John the Ripper to crack it instead. [5][6]
