Hash cracker

It is a simple multithreading app that could brute force such hashes as SHA1, SHA256, SHA512 and MD5.

Usage

./hashcracker -hash hexstring|-file path [-type sha1|sha256|sha512|md5] [-max val] [-min val] [-charset chars] [-threads num] 

Usage of ./hashcracker:
-charset string
      char set for possible message (default "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!\"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~ \t\n\r\v\f")
-file string
      path to file with hashes
-hash string
      hash to be decrypted
-max int
      max length of message (default 10)
-min int
      min length of message (default 1)
-threads int
      max number of threads (default 256)
-type string
      hash algorithm (default "sha1")

Setup

Clone the repository and change the working directory:

git clone https://github.com/alexandr-gnrk/Hash-cracker
cd Hash-cracker

Build and run the program:

go build -o hashcracker
./hashcracker -hash aaf4c61ddcc5e8a2dabede0f3b482cd9aea9434d -charset abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Examples

Crack sha1 hash

./hashcracker -hash fc19318dd13128ce14344d066510a982269c241b

Crack md5 hash with message length between 3 and 5 characters

./hashcracker -type md5 -min 2 -max 5 -hash 6b2ded51d81a4403d8a4bd25fa1e57ee

Crack sha1 hash with custom char set

./hashcracker -hash b3da1b8c56c939e616aa3c0934bce72cb1e82b32 -charset abcdhijklm

Crack sha256 with 512 threads

./hashcracker -type sha256 -threads 512 -hash 97c10efe01d5c9c88704a12d361d8429b3a6aa2412290a0773109d5d2d603d5e

Crack sha1 hashes from file

./hashcracker -type sha1 -file ./hashes.txt

Get elapsed time

Just use time command

$ time ./hashcracker -hash 2e96e89125f4c1aef797410a4bfdb32c0632ef0c
