Supported Hash Types

HashCrack can detect and crack the following hash types:

Hash Type	Description	Example/Format
MD5	32 characters, hexadecimal	5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

SHA256	64 characters, hexadecimal	5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8
SHA384	96 characters, hexadecimal	a8b64babd0aca91a59bdbb7761b421d4f2bb38280d3a75ba0f21f2bebc45583d446c598660c94ce680c47d19c30783a7
SHA512	128 characters, hexadecimal	b109f3bbbc244eb82441917ed06d618b9008dd09b3befd1b5e07394c706a8bb980b1d7785e5976ec049b46df5f1326af5a2ea6d103fd07c95385ffab0cacbc86
MD5 Crypt	Starts with $1$	$1$salt$hash
bcrypt	Starts with $2a$ or $2b$	$2a$10$salt_and_hash
SHA-256 Crypt	Starts with $5$	$5$salt$hash
SHA-512 Crypt	Starts with $6$	$6$salt$hash
NTLM	32 characters	8846F7EAEE8FB117AD06BDD830B7586C
MySQL-SHA1	Format: *<40 HEX CHARS>	*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19
PBKDF2	Format varies with implementation	$pbkdf2$iterations$salt$hash
yescrypt	Modern password hashing	$y$params$salt$hash
Argon2	Winner of PHC competition	$argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=3,p=4$salt$hash
scrypt	Memory-hard hashing function	$scrypt$params$salt$hash
NetNTLMv2	Windows authentication	hash:challenge
WPA-PMKID	WiFi password hashing	pmkid*mac1*mac2

Computationally Intensive Hash Types

The following hash types are also supported but may be slower in browser environments:

Hash Type	Description	Format Example
KeePass KDBX	Password manager format	kdbx:<version>:<iterations>:<salt_base64>:<header_hash>
7z	Archive format	7z:<salt_hex>:<iterations>:<chash>
RAR5	Archive format	rar5:<iterations>:<salt_hex>:<checkval_hex>
PDF	Document encryption	pdf:<version>:<algorithm>:<iterations>:<salt_hex>:<u_hex>:<o_hex>

Note: For the memory-hard functions (Argon2, scrypt, yescrypt) and algorithms requiring specific libraries (bcrypt), we use high-iteration PBKDF2 as a fallback in browser environments where external modules may not be fully supported. This approach provides compatibility while maintaining reasonable security approximation.

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Darkmintis/HashCrack.git
   cd HashCrack

2. Open index.html in your browser or serve with a web server

3. Enter a hash, select wordlists, and start cracking

Usage

1. Enter Hash: Paste the hash you want to crack
2. Select Wordlists: Choose from built-in wordlists or upload custom ones
3. Start Cracking: Click the crack button and monitor progress
4. View Results: Successful cracks are displayed with statistics

Wordlists

The tool includes several built-in wordlists:

• 10k.txt - Common passwords (10,000 entries)
• 100k.txt - Extended password list (100,000 entries)
• rockyou1.txt - RockYou dataset part 1
• rockyou2.txt - RockYou dataset part 2

You can also upload custom wordlists in .txt format.

Architecture

• Frontend: HTML/CSS/JavaScript
• Hash Library: CryptoJS for cryptographic functions
• Processing: Web Workers for multi-threaded cracking
• Storage: LocalStorage for results persistence
