In this post I will show you how you can crack passwords with John the Ripper. We will start off by collecting the hashes from a linux machine, then use the tool unshadow and at last crack the hashes with John the Ripper.
1 – Collect hashes from a Linux machine
We will start with collecting the hashes from the target machine. We will need both /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Save them to your Kali Linux machine, preferably on the desktop. It can be done with the following commands.cat /etc/passwd > ~/Desktop/passwd.txt
This website did not crack hashes in realtime it just collect data on cracked hashes and shows to us. Here is the link of Hashkiller -. This website supports MD5,NTLM,SHA1,MySQL5,SHA256,SHA512 type of encryption.
cat /etc/shadow> ~/Desktop/shadow.txt
This roleplaying game challenges you to be a conniving liar and mislead other players. Each of these different roles will give you a unique ability that you can use in the night phase of the game. There are many different roles for each category of player. Browser based games rpg. Depending on who you are randomly cast as, you might be a townsperson (good), the mafia (bad) or neutrals.If you're a townsperson, you need to track down mafia members and stop them before they kill everyone in your town.
2 – Combine passwd and shadow with unshadow
Now we need to combine these two files into one. This can be done with the tool unshadow. unshadow passwd.txt shadow.txt > hashtocrack.txt
3 – Crack with John
Now we are ready to crack the hashes. John can run in different modes. You can use wordlists or straight brute force. The method I will use in this example is wordlist mode since that is the most effective way. Brute forcing takes a lot of time and I recommend you to only use it as a last resort when your wordlists won’t crack the hashes. In this example we define the wordlist to use to the built in rockyou.txt.john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt hashtocrack.txt
4 – Show cracked credentials
If you let john run you will be prompted with the credentials as soon as they have been cracked. In this example we can see that the the password for the user SuperAdmin was Password1.
We can also come back at a later time and check the credentials again by defining the unshadowed file and add the parameter –show.
john hashtocrack.txt --show

Hashes.com is a hash lookup service. This allows you to input an MD5, SHA-1, Vbulletin, Invision Power Board, MyBB, Bcrypt, Wordpress, SHA-256, SHA-512, MYSQL5 etc hash and search for its corresponding plaintext ('found') in our database of already-cracked hashes.
It's like having your own massive hash-cracking cluster - but with immediate results!
We have been building our hash database since August 2007.
We are not cracking your hash in realtime - we're just caching the hard work of many cracking enthusiasts over the years.
The MD5 message-digest algorithm is a widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. Although MD5 was initially designed to be used as a cryptographic hash function, it has been found to suffer from extensive vulnerabilities. It can still be used as a checksum to verify data integrity, but only against unintentional corruption. It remains suitable for other non-cryptographic purposes, for example for determining the partition for a particular key in a partitioned database. The weaknesses of MD5 have been exploited in the field, most infamously by the Flame malware in 2012. The CMU Software Engineering Institute considers MD5 essentially cryptographically broken and unsuitable for further use. MD5 Decrypt.
In cryptography, SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is a cryptographic hash function which takes an input and produces a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value known as a message digest – typically rendered as a hexadecimal number, 40 digits long. It was designed by the United States National Security Agency, and is a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. Since 2005 SHA-1 has not been considered secure against well-funded opponents, and since 2010 many organizations have recommended its replacement by SHA-2 or SHA-3. Microsoft, Google, Apple and Mozilla have all announced that their respective browsers will stop accepting SHA-1 SSL certificates by 2017. SHA1 Decrypt.
The MySQL5 hashing algorithm implements a double binary SHA-1 hashing algorithm on a users password. MySQL Decrypt.
NT (New Technology) LAN Manager (NTLM) is a suite of Microsoft security protocols that provides authentication, integrity, and confidentiality to users. NTLM is the successor to the authentication protocol in Microsoft LAN Manager (LANMAN), an older Microsoft product. The NTLM protocol suite is implemented in a Security Support Provider, which combines the LAN Manager authentication protocol, NTLMv1, NTLMv2 and NTLM2 Session protocols in a single package. Whether these protocols are used or can be used on a system is governed by Group Policy settings, for which different versions of Windows have different default settings. NTLM passwords are considered weak because they can be brute-forced very easily with modern hardware. NTLM Decrypt.
SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA). They are built using the Merkle–Damgård structure, from a one-way compression function itself built using the Davies–Meyer structure from a (classified) specialized block cipher. SHA-2 includes significant changes from its predecessor, SHA-1. The SHA-2 family consists of six hash functions with digests (hash values) that are 224, 256, 384 or 512 bits: SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256. SHA256 Decrypt.
