Usage Examples
Wordlist-based Password Cracking
python passbreaker.py 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 passwords.txt --algorithm md5This command attempts to crack the password with the hash value “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99” using the MD5 algorithm and a wordlist from the “passwords.txt” file.
Brute Force Attack
python passbreaker.py 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 --brute-force --min-length 6 --max-length 8 --character-set abc123This command performs a brute force attack to crack the password with the hash value “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99” by trying all possible combinations of passwords with a length between 6 and 8 characters, using the character set “abc123”.
Password Complexity Evaluation
python passbreaker.py 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 passwords.txt --algorithm sha256 --complexityThis command evaluates the complexity of passwords in the “passwords.txt” file and attempts to crack the password with the hash value “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99” using the SHA-256 algorithm. It only tries passwords that meet the complexity requirements.
Using Salt Value
python passbreaker.py 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 passwords.txt --algorithm md5 --salt mysalt123This command uses a specific salt value (“mysalt123”) for the password cracking process. Salt is used to enhance the security of passwords.
Parallel Processing
python passbreaker.py 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 passwords.txt --algorithm sha512 --parallelThis command performs password cracking with parallel processing for faster cracking. It utilizes multiple processing cores, but it may consume more system resources.
These examples demonstrate different features and use cases of the “PassBreaker” password cracking tool. Users can customize the parameters based on their needs and goals.
