My Hash cracker Tool

This repository contains the source code for my own implementation of the hashcat tool.

Only for Testing Purposes

This tool is intended for educational and authorized penetration testing purposes only. Unauthorized use of this tool against systems that you do not have explicit permission to test is illegal and unethical.

Features

This implementation covers the following features/options:

Brute-Force Attack: Attempts to crack passwords by trying all combinations within a given length and character set.
Dictionary Attack: Uses a provided wordlist to attempt to find the correct password.
Configurability: Allows customization of password length, character set, and hash modes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512).
Logging: Provides unstructured detailed logs of all connection attempts and outcomes.

Technologies:

Python 3
Pip

Getting Started

To get started with the hashcat tool, follow these steps:

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/pascalnehlsen/hashcat.git
cd hashcat

Usage Examples

Options

Option	Shorthand	Description	Default value	Required
`--mode`	`-m`	Hash mode: 0=MD5, 1=SHA-1, 2=SHA-256, 3=SHA-512	2
`--attack`	`-a`	Attack mode: 0=Brute-Force, 1=Dictionary	0
`--hash`	-	Target hash	-	x
`--hash-file`	-	File path containing target hash	-	x
`--dictionary`	`-d`	Dictionary file path for dictionary attack	-
`--max-length`	`-ml`	Maximum length for brute-force attack	4
`--charset`	`-c`	Charset for brute-force attack	alphanumeric

One of the two is required: --hash or --hash-file

Brute-Force Attack

To perform a brute-force attack without a wordlist, use the following command:

python hashcat.py \
    -m 2 \
    -a 0 \
    --hash 826ecad4ae11c8196ab3432ccbb22400691c248131b97fa4fe6f02dcf20f6049 \
    --max-length 7 \
    --charset 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

Dictionary Attack

To perform a dictionary attack using a wordlist, use the following command:

python hashcat.py \
    -m 0 \
    -a 1 \
    --hash 826ecad4ae11c8196ab3432ccbb22400691c248131b97fa4fe6f02dcf20f6049 \
    -dictionary ./small-password-list.txt

Logging

Logs are written to the console. You can modify the logging level in the code if you need to adjust the verbosity of the output.
