Hashcat

Hashcat is an advanced password recovery tool used in cybersecurity practices. It is renowned for its versatile functionality, speed, and efficiency.

Usage:

hashcat -m 3200 -a 0 -o cracked.txt bycrypt.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt
  • -m specifies the hash-type
  • -a specifies the attack type
  • -o specifies the filename the cracked hash is to be stored
  • Then add the file name that contains the hash — here bycrypt.txt
  • And then, the path to the wordlist
