crack.pl is a tool for cracking SHA1 & MD5 hashes, including a new BETA tool which can crack MD5 that have been salted. You can use a dictionary file or bruteforce and it can be used to generate tables itself.
NOTE – Salt function is currently only available for md5, you need to append ‘\’ infront of every $ while lookingup or cracking salted hash
General Usage and examples :

After generating a table you will need to remove any duplicates(if any). But there will be very little or none so this step is unnecessary and this step wll take a long time to run. Running the following will do that
|
1 |
sort -u <table name> -o <sorted table> |
If you don’t mind some few errors in trade for space, open the source file and change $savespace=0 to $savespace=1. This will cause only the first 5 bytes of the hash to be stored and as such some two or more passwords may have the same beginning. To look up a hash,use the lookup feature.
|
1 |
./crack.pl <hash> <table> lookup |
This will find all possible passwords and compute the correct one, please note that fat32 system will store up to 4GB only. While generating a table the software will start from ‘aaaaaa’ onwards (six letters and up).
Less than six letter password is cracked within minutes (four minutes on mine;) ).
crack_salted.pl
This will crack md5 hashes of salted hash. The results are displayed within ‘singe ticks’.
TIP : most applications set the salt as the username :)
: I made a program to generate random strings (genrandom.pl) the list there should definitely pass through sorting and there is absolutly no guarantee that the salt/pass will be included

./crack_salted.pl <hash> <salt|-f salt_file> <method> |
This is still in development
Installing Crypt::PasswdMD5
(a windows copy of make may be downloaded from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm)
$ cd Crypt-PasswdMD5
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
You can download crack BETA 6 here:
Or preferably use the SVN.

Didn’t expect to see this sort of thing on Darknet…
If you’re looking to crack MD5/SHA1, salted or not, this is NOT the way to approach it.
Crypt::PasswdMD5 is a pure perl implementation of the MD5 algorithm. It is an order of magnitude slower than, say, the OpenSSL implementation, and just will not cut it where speed is an issue.
If you’re in any doubt, hashing algorithms should be implemented using efficient, low level languages. Scripting languages are just not built to do fast floating point operations.
I’m not even going to mention the total lack of cracking specific optimization. Byte swapping techniques are public domain and make such a big difference that they’re a must have.
“You can use a dictionary file or bruteforce and it can be used to generate tables itself.”
What tables are these? Do you mean dictionary files? I see no collision finding code in the 270 line crack_beta.pl, so I’m guessing it’s a dictionary file.
My 2p…

I’m pretty sure that they are referring to rainbow tables and not dictionaries.

GZero: Well I’m not endorsing it or saying it’s the best way, but I appreciate when someone tries their hand at writing something and is willing to share the code with the rest of the world. There are better methods to programmatically crack hashes, but then with the masses of CPU power available now (quad core 2Ghz+ in a home PC?) they aren’t so relevant. I just thought this was worth sharing that’s all.
