  1. Presented by Heorot.net Module 4 Password Cracking

  2. Objectives • Understand abilities and limitations of password cracking • Identify different password encryption methods • Identify and use password cracking tools

  3. Abilities and Limitations • Your ability to crack the password is only as good as your password list • Complex passwords require more time to crack • Remote cracking is slow and very noisy

  4. Identify Encryption Methods • Passwords are one-way encryptions • *nix uses DES (wait!!! DES is NOT a hash!!!) • /etc/shadow • Windows uses MD5 • %systemroot%system32%config • Example (pw=“password”): • Linux: $1$3I90ScF1$rSx/Pn/jQq12DMvMoUwbB0 • Windows: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

  5. Identify Encryption Methods • Passwords are used within applications as well • Salt (pw = “password”) • Linux: (both are the same) • $1$3I90ScF1$rSx/Pn/jQq12DMvMoUwbB0 • $1$7TKzgLz8$2NXCd7bIwF6lAV/wvejm.

  6. Identify Encryption Methods • Different Encryptions: • WEP: 70617373776f7264 • MD5: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 • SHA1: 5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8 • SHA256: • b109f3bbbc244eb82441917ed06d618b9008dd09b3befd1b5e07394c706a8bb980b1d7785e5976ec049b46df5f1326af5a2ea6d103fd07c95385ffab0cacbc86 • ROT13: cnffjbeq • So many other implementations

  7. Password Tools • How to crack passwords • Brute Force • Lookup

  8. Password Tools • How to crack passwords • Brute Force • Online: Hydra • Offline: JTR • Lookup • Rainbow Tables • Google • Default passwords • Hash Values

  9. Password Tools • Dictionaries • Ability to crack passwords is only as good as your dictionary • Try to concentrate on commonly used words • Sports teams (especially winning ones) • Industry terminology • Be ready to give up • Complex passwords are difficult • Remember, this isn’t the movies • Best luck is with default passwords

  10. Conclusion • Understand abilities and limitations of password cracking • Identify different password encryption methods • Identify and use password cracking tools
