Password Cracking (hashcat)

start [hashcat wiki]hashcat.net

Hashcat is a cross-platform CPU and GPU password cracking/recovery tool designed to crack hashed passwords through brute force, dictionary, hybrid, and rule-based attacks.

Hashcat supports a wide range of hashes, which can be found by viewing the help menu. However, I'll provide some flags and common modes that you may use below:

hashcat -m [hash type] [password hashfile] [wordlist] <options>

-w [profile]                        Workload Profile
-r [file]                           Path To Rule File
