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 --hash-type hash_type_id --attack-mode 3 hash_value

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

hashcat --hash-type hash_type_id --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 --hash-type hash_type_id --attack-mode 3 --increment hash_value "?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a"

• Perform a dictionary attack (mode 0) using the RockYou wordlist of a Kali Linux box:

hashcat --hash-type hash_type_id --attack-mode 0 hash_value /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt

• Perform a rule-based dictionary attack (mode 0) using the RockYou wordlist mutated with common password variations:

hashcat --hash-type hash_type_id --attack-mode 0 --rules-file /usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule hash_value /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt

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

hashcat --hash-type hash_type_id --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
