Ready to level up? Our Hacking Guides have you covered with step-by-step instructions on using tools like Hashcat. It’s hacking made simple and fun!
Hashcat is an important tool to have in your toolbelt (at least on your computer ^^). I’ve already written several tutorials on how to use Hashcat, but today we’ll focus on the installation and first steps, especially on Kali Linux, which is often used for it. On Kali Linux, Hashcat comes pre-installed with most versions,…
John The Ripper has been around for a while, and is definitely a tool all hackers and pentesters use all the time. But if you are a beginner in this field, using John The Ripper is not necessarily straightforward. Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything in this article to help you get started the right way….
Hashcat is a free and fast password cracker available on any platform (Linux, Windows, macOS). I talk a lot about this tool on this website, and today we’ll focus on one of the most popular feature you can use with Hashcat: the mask attack. Hashcat can use several attacks. Mask attacks is the number 3…
Hashcat is my favorite password cracker. You can use it on any operating system or distribution, but it’s often easier to use Windows to avoid drivers issues (especially with a recent GPU). Anyway, I will explain how to install it on Windows in this tutorial. Hashcat is officially supported on Windows, binaries files can be…
Hashcat is an important tool to have in your tool belt (on your computer at least ^^). I already wrote several tutorials on how to use Hashcat, but today we’ll stay focus on the installation, especially on a Linux distribution like Ubuntu. The easiest way to install Hashcat on Ubuntu is to use the package…
It is a common thing to hear people complain of fraudsters hacking their accounts. One wonders how possible this is, since most people never reveal their passwords. For many, such acts lead to losing their funds, while others get locked out from their social media handles. But how do passwords get hacked in the first…
The MD5 algorithm is a one-way hash function, it’s not reversible, so there is no way to decrypt a MD5 hash “automatically”. However, current technologies allow us to use different strategies to crack MD5 hashes and find the original word. Using a rainbow table is one of them, and that’s what I’ll introduce in this…
Many legends are discussed about the MD5 algorithm, but it’s time to break the myths and talk about real facts. Is the MD5 algorithm still safe to store passwords? That’s what we’ll see in this article. The MD5 algorithm is no longer considered safe to store passwords, as it’s coming more and more easy to…
Cracking MD5 hashes is interesting for many people, and if you are programming in JavaScript you are at the perfect place. In this article, you’ll learn how to use MD5 in JavaScript and also how to decrypt MD5 hashes. The MD5 hash function works in one way only, there is no reverse function, whatever the…
Everybody wants a solution to decrypt MD5 hashs, and Java programmers are also interested 🙂In this article, you’ll learn how to do this, and also discover a few things about the MD5 algorithm. The MD5 cryptographic algorithm only works one way. It’s possible to crypt a word into MD5 with Java, but there is no…
