Topic: Crack the Hash

Hello everyone! In this room we will be learning about cracking the hash

Hash: Hashing refers to the process of generating a fixed-size output from an input of variable size using the mathematical formulas known as hash functions. This technique determines an index or location for the storage of an item in a data structure.

Task1 Level 1

To crack the hash in this room I used crack station with is and online platform for cracking hashes.

As you can see we could crach the hash for 1, 2, 3, and 5 but for 4 it came with an error so to check what was wrong with I tried googling it and I found out that it was a different type of hash

Alt text

So therefore, it was a bcrypt hash and this type are more difficult to crack than compared to others.

In the terminal I tried to know more about the hash so I used hashid command followed a parametre and I also added \ infront of every $ to make the hash see like a string.

now that i know the mode is 3200 so lets crack it using the following command.

and the password was “bleh”

Task 2 Level 2

same as in level 1 i used crack station to crack some of the hashed passwords. For the first 2 passwords i used this site

for the last two password since it was salted so we need to do with a different method

firstly we need to find the tyope and mode for this hased password aand than use hashcat with this to crack the password

Alt text

After the hashcat i found out the password was “waka99”

Alt text

so i went to hashcat website and checked what all the different hash type were. and than i went to mode i found out that the 110 had some salt in it than i used that mode in this problem

Alt text

after i ran this command i was able to get the password as “481616481616”
