TryHackMe: Crack The Hash
2 min readMar 1, 2021
Today, I tried one challenge from tryhackme call crack the hash. There is 2 Level of decryption.
Room : https://tryhackme.com/room/crackthehash
Level: Easy
I’m using this online hash detector to detect type of hash https://www.tunnelsup.com/hash-analyzer/. Its helped me a lot to narrow down the brute force. For the tool, I’m using hashcat — the best password cracker
So, lets get started
Task 1
Hint: MD5
# hashcat -m 0 48bb6e862e54f2a795ffc4e541caed4d ~/wordlists/rockyou.txt --force
Hint: SHA1
# hashcat -m 100 CBFDAC6008F9CAB4083784CBD1874F76618D2A97 ~/wordlists/rockyou.txt --force
Hint: SHA256
# hashcat -m 1400 1C8BFE8F801D79745C4631D09FFF36C82AA37FC4CCE4FC946683D7B336B63032 ~/wordlists/rockyou.txt --force
Hint: Blowfish
# hashcat -m 3200 hash.txt ~/wordlists/rockyou.txt --force
Hint: MD4
This one I tried same dictionary not working. Once I try rule-based using hashcat rules, then its able to decrypt.
# hashcat -m 900 "279412f945939ba78ce0758d3fd83daa" ~/wordlists/rockyou.txt…
