HashHawk - Password Hash Cracking Tool

HashHawk is a Python-based password hash cracking tool that supports both dictionary and brute-force attacks. It provides a simple and interactive interface for users to crack password hashes using various algorithms and attack methods.

Features

• Brute-force Attack: Generate custom password lists and perform brute-force attacks on hashed passwords.
• Dictionary Attack: Use an existing password dictionary file for efficient password cracking.
• Hashing Algorithms: Supports various hashing algorithms available in the hashlib library.
• Interactive Mode: User-friendly interactive mode for easy input and execution.
• Multiprocessing Support: Utilizes multiprocessing for faster brute-force attacks on multi-core systems.

Dependencies

Make sure to have the following Python libraries installed:

• Pwntools: A CTF framework and exploit development library.
• hashlib: Provides secure hash and message digest algorithms.
• multiprocessing: Supports the spawning of processes using an API similar to the threading module.
• itertools: Provides functions for creating iterators for efficient looping.
• string: Provides common string operations.
• datetime: Supplies classes for manipulating dates and times.
• argparse: Parser for command-line options, arguments, and sub-commands.

Usage

Command Line

python hashhawk.py target_hash {bruteforce,dictionary}

• target_hash: The hash to be cracked.
• bruteforce: Perform a brute-force attack.
• dictionary: Perform a dictionary attack.

Interactive Mode

Run the script without command-line arguments to enter interactive mode.

python hashhawk.py

Follow the prompts to enter the target hash, attack type, and other relevant information.

Dependencies

• Python: HashHawk is written in Python.
• pwntools: A powerful library for interacting with binary programs.

Install the required dependencies using the following command:

pip install pwntools

Example

1. Run the script interactively:

python hashhawk.py

2. Enter the target hash, choose the attack type, and provide additional information as prompted.

3. Let HashHawk perform the password cracking.
