Automated Password Cracking and Hash Analysis Tool

Overview

This tool automates the process of analyzing password hashes, identifying the hashing algorithms, and cracking the hashes using either dictionary or brute-force attacks. It supports common hash algorithms like MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and bcrypt.

Features

  • Identify common hash types (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, bcrypt).
  • Crack hashes using dictionary-based attacks (with customizable wordlists).
  • Optionally perform brute-force attacks for weak hashes.
  • Generate a detailed HTML report on the cracking results.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • Required libraries listed in requirements.txt (install via pip)

Installation

Clone this repository and install the required dependencies

Example Output of cracker.py

Enter hash to crack: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
Identified hash type: md5
Password cracked: password
Cracking completed in 3.45 seconds.

Generated Report (HTML)

    <h1>Hash Cracking Report</h1>
    <h2>Hash: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</h2>
    <h2>Hash Type: md5</h2>
    <p><b>Cracked Password: </b>password</p>

Explanation

  1. Input: The user is prompted to input a hash value to crack (e.g., 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99).
  2. Hash Identification: The script identifies the hash type (md5 in this case).
  3. Cracking Process:
    • The script first attempts to crack the hash using a dictionary attack with a wordlist.
    • If the dictionary attack fails, it then attempts brute-force cracking.
    • In this example, the password (password) is successfully cracked using the dictionary attack.
  4. Time Taken: The total cracking time is shown (e.g., 3.45 seconds).
  5. HTML Report: A report is generated in HTML format, displaying the hash, hash type, and cracked password.
