hashcat

Fast and advanced password recovery tool. More information: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=hashcat.

  • Perform a brute-force attack (mode 3) with the default hashcat mask:

hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 3 {{hash_value}}

  • Perform a brute-force attack (mode 3) with a known pattern of 4 digits:

hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 3 {{hash_value}} "{{?d?d?d?d}}"

  • Perform a brute-force attack (mode 3) using at most 8 of all printable ASCII characters:

hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 3 --increment {{hash_value}} "{{?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a}}"

  • Perform a dictionary attack (mode 0) using a wordlist:

hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 0 {{hash_value}} {{path/to/wordlist.txt}}

  • Run a dictionary attack (mode 0) using the specified wordlist, applying rule-based transformations to mutate candidate passwords:

hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 0 {{[-r|--rules-file]}} {{path/to/file.rule}} {{hash_value}} {{path/to/wordlist.txt}}

  • Perform a combination attack (mode 1) using the concatenation of words from two different custom dictionaries:

hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 1 {{hash_value}} {{path/to/dictionary1.txt}} {{path/to/dictionary2.txt}}

  • Show result of an already cracked hash:

hashcat --show {{hash_value}}

  • Show all example hashes:

hashcat --example-hashes
