Supported on: Linux, Windows and OSX

Advanced Password Cracking Techniques Using Hashcat Wordlist attack:

Wordlist attack:

Single wordlist attack on MD4 (-m 1400)

hashcat.exe -m 1400 C:\hash.txt .\rockyou.txt ​

Combining 2 wordlists (in order)

hashcat.exe -m 1400 C:\hash.txt .\wordlist1.txt .\wordlist2.txt ​

Combining wordlists and adding specific characters to the newly formed words

hashcat.exe -a 1 -m 1000 C:\hash.txt .\wordlist1.txt .\wordlist2.txt -j $- -k $! Hybrid attack:

Example: "summer" becomes "summer89" or "summer!#".

hashcat.exe -a 6 C:\hash.txt .\wordlist.txt ?d?d Toggle case (Rule based attack):

Toggle Case Attack example using "password"

hashcat.exe -a 0 C:\hash.txt .\wordlist.txt -r .\rules\togglecase.rule ​

Possible outputs password

"password" (all lowercase)

"PASSWORD" (all uppercase)

"pASSWORD" (first letter lowercase, rest uppercase)

"PaSsWoRd" (alternating case)

"pAsSwOrD" (opposite alternating case)

Associative Attack Patterns:

Example: "Olympics2020" by appending a significant year to a sports-related word.

hashcat.exe -a 6 C:\hash.txt .\sports.txt ?d?d?d?d Keyboard Walks and Patterns (interesting method uwu):

Example: "qwert" might be extended to "qwert123" following a typical keyboard pattern.

hashcat.exe -a 3 C:\hash.txt ?l?l?l?l?l?d?d?d Prince Attack for Efficient Word Combination:

Example: "apple" and "123" combined in various ways like "apple123" or "123apple".

hashcat.exe --prince=./wordlist1.txt C:\hash.txt Custom charset combination:

Example: "admin" could become "admin2021!" by focusing on letters and digits with common special characters.
