Hey, guys! I was wondering what everyone uses for a quick password crack? I've been using John the Ripper, but I find it to be a bit of a pain to remember all the flags, especially when I want to just hit something real quick. I'm looking mostly for stuff like MD5, SHA1, SHA256, NTLM, and a couple others.
Best quick password cracking tool?
I'm partial to rockyou.txt with hashcat for the first pass... if it doesn't crack, I will often use "One Rule to Rule Them All" if I have a lot of time on my hands (like days).
https://crackstation.net is your FRIEND! It can do all of the hashes you mentioned, and it has a dictionary of about 2 billion password hashes. I am guessing they are using rainbow tables for each of the hash types, because the response is almost instant. I will usually throw my hash in their first before turning to something like hashcat, just because there are not flags to mess with. hashcat is great for the sheer number of hashes they support. I only turn to JtR if hashcat can't handle it.
