Password Cracking

Identify the hash (By Length)

Hash Lengths

Hash	Size
MD5 Hash Length	16 Bytes
SHA-1 Hash Length	20 Bytes
SHA-256 Hash Length	32 Bytes
SHA-512 Hash Length	64 Bytes

Tools To identify hashes

hash-identifier

Builtin in Kali.

Usage: hash-identifier

Hash-Buster

Usage: buster -s <hash>

Decodify

It can detect and decode encoded strings, recursively.

Empty hashes

Administrator:500:aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:8118cb8789b3a147c790db402b016a08:::

Administrator = user

500 = RID

Aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee = empty LM hash
