Password Cracking 101+1: Part 4 - Brute Force Attacks

In this session we'll see how we can use hashcat to carry out a brute force attack that will guess every possible combination of a password hash (up to a feasible length).
A Kali Linux OVA virtual machine can be download from our site so you can follow along with the challenges in.security/technical-trainin...

Love this video series. Its completely taken the mystery out of hashes and dealing with them. A solid foundation to something in my skillset. Thank you

how to configure bruteforce as normal bruteforce attack, example start from a to z, in order

[@in.security8450]

That's a 1-char password so it's not realistic, but if you wanted to it would be.. hashcat -m X -a3 ?l --markov-disable
I think you mean in order but with all char-sets, and building upwards, so that would be... hashcat -m X ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a --markov-disable --increment

Hello I have a 12 character password to crack, but I know the first 4, how do I brute force it?

[@in.security8450]

If it's a slow algo you may not crack it, but say the first 4 were ABCD, you'd use -a3 ABCD?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

Thanks for your great course. I have a 32 char password to crack. 32 password is made out of lower, upper and digits only. Any thoughts the best way of crack the password?

[@in.security8450]

You won't crack it. A 32-char password using those characters has 2.72e57 possibilities
