Introduction HashCat is the well-known and the self-proclaimed world’s fastest and most advanced password cracking tool. This tool has 7 attack modes for 200+ highly-optimized hashing algorithms (MD4, MD5, SHA-family, Unix Crypt, MySQL, Cisco Pix, etc.). It currently supports: CPUs, GPUs, and other hardware accelerators on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and has facilities to help enable distributed password cracking. HashCat: Advanced Password Cracking Tool Banner Features: World’s fastest password cracker, first and only in-kernel rule engine. Free and Open-Source (MIT License). Multi-OS (Linux, Windows and macOS) and Multi-Platform (CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA, etc.). Can crack multiple hashes at the same time. Multi-Devices & Multi-Device-Types : utilizing multiple (mixed) devices in same system. Supports: password candidate brain functionality, distributed cracking networks (using overlay), interactive pause/resume, sessions, restore, reading password candidates from file and stdin, hex-salt and hex-charset, automatic performance tuning, automatic keyspace ordering markov-chains. Built-in benchmarking system. Integrated thermal watchdog. 200+ Hash-types implemented with performance in mind. Welcome to hashcat 6.2.6 release! This release adds new backend support for Metal, the OpenCL replacement API on Apple, many new hash-modes, and some bug fixes. This is a minor release.

Welcome to hashcat 6.0.0 release! This release is about new hash-mode plugin interface, new backend API interface, expanding support for new algorithms and fixing bugs. Introduction HashCat is the well-known and the self-proclaimed world’s fastest and most advanced password cracking tool. This tool has 7 attack modes for 200+ highly-optimized hashing algorithms (MD4, MD5, SHA-family, Unix Crypt, MySQL, Cisco Pix, etc.). It currently supports: CPUs, GPUs, and other hardware accelerators on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and has facilities to help enable distributed password cracking. Along with the major changes, we have added the following frequently demanded 51 new algorithms: AES Crypt (SHA256) Android Backup AuthMe sha256 BitLocker BitShares v0.x Blockchain, My Wallet, Second Password (SHA256) Citrix NetScaler (SHA512) DiskCryptor Electrum Wallet (Salt-Type 3-5) Huawei Router sha1(md5($pass).$salt) Java Object hashCode() Kerberos 5 Pre-Auth etype 17 (AES128-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96) Kerberos 5 Pre-Auth etype 18 (AES256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96) Kerberos 5 TGS-REP etype 17 (AES128-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96) Kerberos 5 TGS-REP etype 18 (AES256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96) MultiBit Classic .key (MD5) MultiBit HD (scrypt) MySQL $A$ (sha256crypt) Open Document Format (ODF) 1.1 (SHA-1, Blowfish) Open Document Format (ODF) 1.2 (SHA-256, AES) Oracle Transportation Management (SHA256) PKZIP archive encryption PKZIP Master Key Python passlib pbkdf2-sha1 Python passlib pbkdf2-sha256 Python passlib pbkdf2-sha512 QNX /etc/shadow (MD5) QNX /etc/shadow (SHA256) QNX /etc/shadow (SHA512) RedHat 389-DS LDAP (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256) Ruby on Rails Restful-Authentication SecureZIP AES-128 SecureZIP AES-192 SecureZIP AES-256 SolarWinds Orion Telegram Desktop App Passcode (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1) Telegram Mobile App Passcode (SHA256) Web2py pbkdf2-sha512 WPA-PBKDF2-PMKID+EAPOL WPA-PMK-PMKID+EAPOL md5($salt.sha1($salt.$pass)) md5(sha1($pass).md5($pass).sha1($pass)) md5(sha1($salt).md5($pass)) sha1(md5(md5($pass))) sha1(md5($pass.$salt)) sha1(md5($pass).$salt) sha1($salt1.$pass.$salt2) sha256(md5($pass)) sha256($salt.$pass.$salt) sha256(sha256_bin($pass)) sha256(sha256($pass).$salt) With so many new hash-modes added, we're happy to announce that we now support over 320 different algorithms! The new major features of hashcat 6.0.0: New plugin interface - for modular hash-modes New compute-backend API interface - for adding compute APIs other than OpenCL CUDA added as a new compute-backend API Comprehensive plugin developer guide GPU Emulation mode - for using kernel code on the host CPU Better GPU memory and thread management Improved auto-tuning based on available resources [HIDE][Hidden Content]]
