Hashcat
Master the world's fastest password cracker. Learn to identify hashes, configure GPU-accelerated attacks, and crack credentials to pivot through the network.
Hashcat is a high-speed password recovery tool that uses CPUs and GPUs to crack hashes with wordlists, rules, masks, and brute force. It supports hundreds of hash types.
What is a mask attack in Hashcat?
A mask attack tries passwords that match a defined pattern, such as eight characters with a capital letter first and digits last. It is faster than full brute force when you know the likely format.
How do I choose the right Hashcat mode?
Identify the hash type first, then pick its numeric mode with the -m option, such as 1000 for NTLM. This free Codelivly room shows how to identify and crack common hashes.
