HashCracker

HashCracker is a simple password hash cracker that supports various hash types and modes of attack, including wordlist and brute-force attacks.

Features

• Supports multiple hash types: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512.
• Two modes of attack: wordlist and brute-force.
• Configurable parameters for brute-force attacks, including character set and length range.
• Multi-threading support for faster cracking.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Required libraries: hashlib, itertools, threading, argparse, os

Download and Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/mnovel/HashCracker.git

2. Navigate to the Directory:

   Change into the project directory:

   cd HashCracker

Usage

Run the script using Python with the following command line arguments:

python HashCracker.py -t {0,1,2,3} -m {0,1} hash_input [wordlist_or_charset] [--start_length START_LENGTH] [--end_length END_LENGTH] [--charset CHARSET] [--threads THREADS]

Arguments:

• -t, --hash_type: Type of hash to crack (0=MD5, 1=SHA1, 2=SHA256, 3=SHA512)
• -m, --mode: Attack mode (0=wordlist, 1=brute-force)
• hash_input: The hash value or file path containing hash values to crack
• wordlist_or_charset: Path to the wordlist file (for wordlist mode) or charset (for brute-force mode)
• --start_length START_LENGTH: Starting length for brute-force (required for brute-force mode)
• --end_length END_LENGTH: Ending length for brute-force (required for brute-force mode)
• --charset CHARSET: Character set for brute-force mode (default is abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz)
• --threads THREADS: Number of threads for brute-force (default is 4)

Examples

1. Wordlist Attack Example

To crack a hash using a wordlist:

1. Create a hash file hash.txt with the following content:

   d1c056a983786a38ca76a05cda240c7b86d77136
   

2. Create a wordlist file wordlist.txt with potential passwords:

   password
   123456
   tes
   admin
   

3. Run the wordlist attack:

   python HashCracker.py -t 0 -m 0 hash.txt wordlist.txt

Expected Output:

[INFO] Starting wordlist attack using: wordlist.txt
[+] Found: tes for hash d1c056a983786a38ca76a05cda240c7b86d77136

2. Brute-force Attack Example

To perform a brute-force attack on the same hash:

1. Ensure you have the hash.txt with the same content as before.

2. Run the brute-force attack with a character set of abcd and lengths from 1 to 4:

   python HashCracker.py -t 0 -m 1 hash.txt --start_length 1 --end_length 4 --charset "abcd"

Expected Output:

[INFO] Starting brute-force attack from length 1 to 4
[+] Found: tes for hash d1c056a983786a38ca76a05cda240c7b86d77136
