Hash Kracker

Hash Kracker is a simple-to-use software program that can calculate and reveal hash passwords from hash text using several algorithms. It offers support for MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512.

The setup operation does not take a long time to finish. However, users should be careful when going through these steps, as Hash Kracker offers to download and install some third-party tools that are not mandatory, as well as to make some changes to your web browsers.

The UI is made of a normal window with a well-structured layout, where you can type or paste hash text and select the algorithm, as well as point out a password dictionary file using either the file browser or drag-and-drop method.

The decryption process starts with the click of a button and finishes in no time. Results show the password count, total elapsed time, cracking speed, and current status. This information can be exported to an external file for closer inspection and safekeeping. There are no other notable options available here.

The tool finishes a decryption task in no time while using low CPU and RAM, so its impact on system performance is barely noticeable. We have not come across any kind of problems during our evaluation, as Hash Kracker did not hang, crash or display error messages. In conclusion, it serves its purpose and can be used by anyone.

There is also a portable version available, in case you want to skip the installer and run Hash Kracker directly from a pen drive.
