Hashcat: Fastest hash resolver

What is hashcat Hash Cracking Tool?

hashcat was written somewhere in the middle of 2009. Yes, there were already close-to-perfect working tools supporting rule-based attacks like “PasswordsPro”, “John The Ripper”. However, for some unknown reason, both of them did not support multi-threading. That was the only reason to write it, to make use of the multiple cores of modern CPUs.


Granted, that was not 100% correct. John the Ripper already supported MPI using a patch, but at that time it worked only for Brute-Force attack. There was no solution available to crack plain MD5 which supports MPI using rule-based attacks.


From its first version, v0.01, was called “atomcrack”. This version was very poor, but at least the MD5 kernel was written in assembler utilizing SSE2 instructions and of course it was multi-threaded. It was a simple dictionary cracker, nothing more. But it was fast. Really fast. Some guys from the scene become interested in it and after one week there were around 10 beta testers. Everything worked fine and so requests for more algorithm types, a rule-engine for mutation of dictionaries, a windows version and different attack modes were added. These developments took around half a year and were completely non-public.

  Mobexler Mobexler is a customized virtual machine, based on Elementary OS, designed to help in penetration testing of Android & iOS applications. Mobexler comes preinstalled with various open-source tools, scripts, prerequisites, etc. which are needed for security testing Android & iOS application. Mobexler is  unique  for several reasons: O ne platform capable of managing Android Device/emulator and iOS devices, both at the same time. Comes preinstalled with various updated tools that are needed for security testing. Tools like MobSF are run inside a docker container, which ensures that it is easier to download the newer versions. Running MobSF in the container also gives the capability to perform static analysis on IPA, which otherwise requires Xcode tools. iOS devices can easily be connected through USB and various tools can be used to perform the testing, like Frida, Objection, Hopper, etc. Free for everyone to use. Default Configuration OVA file size: ~16GB...

Frida: Hook methods

  💉 Frida's Gadget Injection on Android: No Root, 2 Methods You will learn  Method 1 :  If targeted APK contains any native library ( <apk>/lib/arm64-v8a/libfromapk.so ), then you can inject  libfrida-gadget.so  as a dependency into the native library. Method 2 :  If APK doesn't contain a native library, then you can inject  System.loadLibrary  bytecode. Basic use case:  you've got a third-party APK (Android application package), and you want to debug/trace/explore/reverse-engineer it, and you have your personal Android phone which you don't want to root. It means you need Frida's Gadget. How it basically works Note: where to get an APK Google Play doesn't allow you to download APK directly. If you decide to analyze some APK, but you haven't got one yet, you have a bunch of options then:  https://www.google.com/search?q=download+apk . https://apkpure.com https://apkmirror.com https://apkcombo.com etc. Method 1: Inject a libfrida-...

  Chalres Proxy: Able to interpret , Interrupt both http/https and websocket all Charles is an HTTP proxy / HTTP monitor / Reverse Proxy that enables a developer to view all of the HTTP and SSL / HTTPS traffic between their machine and the Internet. This includes requests, responses and the HTTP headers (which contain the cookies and caching information). What Is Charles Proxy? Charles Proxy is a web debugging tool that monitors the network calls and decrypts the web traffic. It helps in understanding the content in your network call. E.g. Requests sent to the server and data fetched from the server etc. This network debugging tool can read the web traffic of Windows, Android and IOS devic es. Configuration Of Charles Proxy On Windows / Mac OS Charles Proxy sits between you & the server and monitors all network calls.  For example,  if you are searching for something on Google, then your machine should make a call to the Google server with the search query.
