Crack Password Hashes (Sites) 🤡

• Sites:

  • crackstation
  • hashes.com

• Using Hashcat:

hashcat -m 160 'e5d8870e5bdd26602cab8dbe07a942c8669e56d6:tryhackme' /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt
 
# OR
## First save the hash in a file (hashes.txt)
hashcat -m 3200 -a 0 -o cracked.txt hashes.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt

• -m option is the kind of hash you are trying to break

  • Identify the kind of hash with hash identifier
  • Also identify the kind of hash with hash-analyzer
  • Also identify the kind of hash with: haiti or run:

  git clone https://github.com/noraj/haiti.git
  sudo gem install fpm
  cd haiti/packages/debian/ruby-docopt
  fpm -s gem docopt
  cd ../haiti
  fpm -s gem haiti-hash
  cd ..
  sudo dpkg -i ruby-docopt/ruby-docopt_0.6.1_all_debian11.deb
  sudo dpkg -i haiti/haiti_2.1.0_all_debian11.deb
  cd ../../
  rm -rf haiti

  • haiti usage

  • Basic command: haiti b16f211a8ad7f97778e5006c7cecdf31

  • Check more hash formats on Hashcat official web

• Wordlists of hashes:

  • SecLists
  • tool: wordlistctl, for searching all leaked or composed wordlists (around 6300)
    • Example usage: wordlistctl search rockyou
    • Download one you find: sudo python3 wordlistctl.py fetch malenames-usa-top1000

• Tools:

  • Inventory raw/cracking

• Rule mode: consists on using a wordlist by adding it some pattern or mangle the string. For example, adding the current year or appending a common special character
• Creating a custom rule for john:

# This rule appends at the end, beginning and both up to 5 digits and symbols
[List.Rules:CRACK1]
cAz"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
cAz"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
cAz"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
cAz"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
cAz"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
cA0"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
cA0"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
cA0"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
cA0"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
cA0"[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]""[0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+]"
 
# This rule reverses all word on a wordlist
[List.Rules:CRACK5]
r
 
# This rule appends numbers to a string
[List.Rules:CRACK6]
Az"[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]"

• Command to extract necessary data of a wordlist and piping it to what we need:

sudo cat /usr/share/wordlists/misc/city-state-country.txt | dos2unix | grep 'Mexico*' | cut -f 1 -d ',' | uniq > mexico.txt

• Examples with john

john hash.txt --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/passwords/rockyou.txt rules=norajCommon02
 
john /home/gitblanc/TryHackMe/crackthehashlevel2/hash1.txt --format=Raw-Md5 --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/usernames/malenames-usa-top1000.txt --rules=CRACK1

• Consult John The Ripper Wordlist rules syntax

• Ideas of mutation rules, of course several can be combined together.

• Border mutation - commonly used combinations of digits and special symbols can be added at the end or at the beginning, or both

• Freak mutation - letters are replaced with similarly looking special symbols

• Case mutation - the program checks all variations of uppercase/lowercase letters for any character

• Order mutation - character order is reversed

• Repetition mutation - the same group of characters are repeated several times

• Vowels mutation - vowels are omitted or capitalized

• Strip mutation - one or several characters are removed

• Swap mutation - some characters are swapped and change places

• Duplicate mutation - some characters are duplicated

• Delimiter mutation - delimiters are added between characters

• Depending of your distribution, the John configuration may be located at /etc/john/john.conf and/or /usr/share/john/john.conf. To locate the JtR install directory run locate john.conf, then create john-local.conf in the same directory (in my case /usr/share/john/john-local.conf) and create our rules in here.

• Add a new rule on the new john file:

[List.Rules:THM01]
$[0-9]$[0-9]

• Generate mutations on wordlists with Mentalist

• Generate specific wordlists with Cewl

  • Example cewl command: cewl -d 2 -w $(pwd)/example.txt https://example.org
  • The -d option is the depth (number of link level the spider will follow)

• Craft wordlists from scratch with TTPassGen

  • Example command to create a wordlist containing all 4 digits PIN code value: ttpassgen --rule '[?d]{4:4:*}' pin.txt
  • Example command to generate a list of all lowercase chars combinations of length 1 to 3: ttpassgen --rule '[?l]{1:3:*}' abc.txt
  • Example to create a wordlist that is a combination of several wordlists (PIN + - + letter): ttpassgen --dictlist 'pin.txt,abc.txt' --rule '$0[-]{1}$1' combination.txt
  • Be warned combining wordlists quickly generated huge files, here combination.txt is 1.64 GB.

• Use the tool lyricpass to download the lyrics of all the songs made by a group or musician.

  • Example: lyricpass.py -a "Adele"
