hashkill v0.3.0 released
hashkill is an open-source password recovery tool. It can recover about 45 types of passwords using different types of attacks. It has several nice features (sessions save/restore, multihash lists, GPU acceleration) and is designed to take advantage of newer hardware (multicore systems, SSE2/XOP/AVX/AES-NI-enabled x86 CPUs, modern GPUs, multi-GPU configurations, etc)
Features
- Multi-threaded so that it can benefit from multi-core/multi-CPU systems
- SSE2/AVX/XOP/AES-NI-accelerated algorithms to achieve high speeds on modern x86 CPUs
- Very powerful rule engine plus optimized bruteforce/markov codepaths for fast algos.
- ~ 40 plugins for different types of passwords (ranging from simple hashes like MD5 and SHA1 to WPA, passworded RAR files and private SSL key passphrases)
- Supports session save/restore. Sessions are auto-saved each 3 seconds. Password cracking can resume after the last checkpoint in case the program is stopped/killed/system crashes/power down/etc.
- Multi-hash support
- Very fast GPU support on both Nvidia and AMD. GCN and Kepler architecture supported.
- Multi-GPU support (even AMD+NVidia systems).
- Session save/restore, markov/rule/bruteforce also on GPUs
Changelog
- Completely new architecture
- True multi-GPU support, any mixed multi-GPU configuration supported, even AMD+NVIDIA
- A new very powerful and flexible rule engine implemented
- Hash indices totally reworked, hashkill now supports huge (>1 million) hashlists
- XOP/AVX/AES-NI support if available
- True working thermal monitoring for both nv/amd devices
- Session save/restore and progress indicator working even for rule attacks
- Lots of new plugins, several archive formats now supported on GPU and WPA cracking (a stateful pcap-to-hccap conversion tool included)
- Precompiled kernels for all architectures, no time lost in runtime kernel compilation
- GCN and Kepler architectures now supported
- –interactive-mode allows responsive desktop while cracking
- Misc. algorithm optimizations
- Dynamic OpenCL loader, now you won’t need any OpenCL or ADL headers to build
- Rule engine supports advanced attacks: table replacements/multichar replacements, permutation, dictionary, combined dictionaries, built-in markov, adaptive (fingerprint) attacks based on feedback from currently cracked passwords enhanced by training markov models on them, generating candidates Levenshtein/Levenshtein-Damerau distance X/Hamming/etc, builtin leetify, pasttense/conttense rules, builtin cyrillic->latin transliteration rules, passphrase generation based on wordlists, rule engine has stack storage, preprocessor with includes, command-line passed variables, etc.
- The rule engine is CPU based, but certain ruleset patterns are recognized and offloaded to GPU for faster attacks when fast algos are attacked.
- Tons of bugs fixed
- And lots more…
