Hashcat
What is Hashcat?
• Hashcat:
• A high-performance, open-source password recovery
tool.
• Purpose:
• Used to recover passwords by cracking password
hashes.
• Key Feature:
• GPU-accelerated, making it one of the fastest tools
available.
• Supports:
• A wide variety of hashing algorithms (MD5, SHA-256,
WPA, etc.).
Brute-force Attack (-a 3):

• Tries every possible character combination.


• Time-consuming but effective.

Dictionary Attack (-a 0):

• Uses predefined wordlists to attempt password matches.


• Fast but limited by the wordlist quality.
Hashcat Combination Attack (-a 1):
Attack • Combines two wordlists, useful for longer, compound
passwords.
Modes Mask Attack (-a 3):

• Targets specific patterns based on partial knowledge of the


password (e.g., known characters, length).

Hybrid Attack (-a 6, -a 7):

• Combines dictionary and mask-based attacks.


MD5 (-m 0)

Popular SHA-1 (-m 100)

Hash SHA-256 (-m 1400)

Types NTLM (-m 1000)

Supported bcrypt (-m 3200)

WPA/WPA2 (-m 2500)

John the Ripper
What is John the Ripper?
• John the Ripper is a popular open-source password cracking
tool.
• Initially developed for Unix-based systems.
• Designed to detect weak passwords and crack password
hashes.
• Supports many operating systems, including Unix,
Windows, and macOS.
• Hash Support: Cracks multiple hash types, including:
• Unix-based hashes (DES, MD5)
• Windows LM/NTLM
• SHA hashes, bcrypt, and more.
• Customizable: Supports plugins and extensions to add more
functionality.
Single Crack Mode:
• Uses username and other information to guess passwords.
• Default mode and often the fastest.

Wordlist Mode:
Attack Modes • Uses a wordlist (dictionary) to crack passwords.

in John the • Can be combined with rules to modify wordlist entries (e.g., adding
numbers or symbols).

Ripper Incremental Mode:


• Performs a brute-force attack by trying all character combinations.
• Time-consuming but effective for short passwords.

External Mode:
• Allows users to create custom attack modes using external scripts.
• Highly flexible and customizable for unique cracking strategies.
Single crack mode: (demo)
Wordlist Mode: (demo)
Zip password cracking: (demo)
Linux password: (demo)
