hashcat is the world’s fastest and most advanced password recovery utility, supporting five unique modes of attack for over 200 highly-optimized hashing algorithms. hashcat currently supports CPUs, GPUs, and other hardware accelerators on Linux, Windows, and OSX, and has facilities to help enable distributed password cracking.
Features
- World’s fastest password cracker
- World’s first and only in-kernel rule engine
- Free
- Open-Source (MIT License)
- Multi-OS (Linux, Windows and macOS)
- Multi-Platform (CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA, etc., everything that comes with an OpenCL runtime)
- Multi-Hash (Cracking multiple hashes at the same time)
- Multi-Devices (Utilizing multiple devices in same system)
- Multi-Device-Types (Utilizing mixed device types in same system)
- Supports password candidate brain functionality
- Supports distributed cracking networks (using overlay)
- Supports interactive pause / resume
- Supports sessions
- Supports restore
- Supports reading password candidates from file and stdin
- Supports hex-salt and hex-charset
- Supports automatic performance tuning
- Supports automatic keyspace ordering markov-chains
- Built-in benchmarking system
- Integrated thermal watchdog
- 200+ Hash-types implemented with performance in mind
- … and much more
Changelog v6.1.1
This release is mostly about expanding support for new algorithms and fixing bugs:
Added hash-mode: Apple Keychain
Added hash-mode: XMPP SCRAM
Changelog fixed Bugs:
Fixed integer overflow for large masks in -a 6 attack mode
Fixed alias detection with additional processor core count check
Fixed maximum password length in modules of hash-modes 600, 7800, 7801 and 9900
Fixed non-zero status code when using –stdout
Fixed uninitialized value in bitsliced DES kernel (BF mode only) leading to false negatives
Changelog Improvements:
Compile ZLIB: Fixed makefile include paths in case USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB is used
Compile macOS: Fixed makefile target ‘clean’ to correctly remove *.dSYM folders
OpenCL Kernels: Added datatypes to literals of enum costants
OpenCL Kernels: Added pure kernels for hash-mode 600 (BLAKE2b-512)
OpenCL Runtime: Reinterpret return code CL_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND from clGetDeviceIDs() as non-fatal
OpenCL Runtime: Add some unstable warnings for some SHA512 based algorithms on AMD GPU on macOS
Changelog Technical:
Backend: Changed the maximum number of compute devices from 64 to 128
Tests: Improved tests for hash-mode 11300 (Bitcoin/Litecoin wallet.dat)
Tests: Improved tests for hash-mode 13200 (AxCrypt)
Tests: Improved tests for hash-mode 13600 (WinZip)
Tests: Improved tests for hash-mode 16400 (CRAM-MD5 Dovecot)
Tests: Improved tests for hash-mode 16800 (WPA-PMKID-PBKDF2)
