Multi-threaded hash cracking tool with dictionary, brute-force, and rule-based mutation attacks.

This is a quick overview — security theory, architecture, and full walkthroughs are in the learn modules.

What It Does

  • Crack MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512 hashes with auto-detection from hash length
  • Dictionary attacks using memory-mapped wordlists for zero-copy large file handling
  • Brute-force attacks with configurable character sets and keyspace partitioning
  • Rule-based mutations (capitalize, leet speak, digit append, reverse, toggle case)
  • Multi-threaded with zero-contention work partitioning across all CPU cores
  • Salt support with prepend/append positioning
  • Rich terminal progress display with speed, ETA, and progress bar

Quick Start

./install.sh
hashcracker --hash 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8 \
  --wordlist wordlists/10k-most-common.txt
# ✔ CRACKED: password

[!TIP] This project uses just as a command runner. Type just to see all available commands.

Install: curl -sSf https://just.systems/install.sh | bash -s -- --to ~/.local/bin

Demo Hashes

Try these — all crack instantly against the included wordlist:
