Hash Manager

Oriented toward experienced users, Hash Manager is a command-line application designed to recover passwords to hashes. It's wrapped in a lightweight package and includes support for over 450 hashing algorithms, along with over 70 extra tools for managing checksums, passwords and dictionaries.

There is no installation involved. Since Hash Manager comes in a portable pack, you can extract the files from the downloaded archive and place them anywhere on the disk to fire up the utility without setup. Also, you can keep it stored on a thumb drive to seamlessly run it on any PC without installation.

There are numerous files in extracted form so you can access Hash Manager from the "HM" folder. Distinct directories are made ready for 32- and 64-bit Windows. After calling the process from a Command Prompt or PowerShell window, you can view the syntax: HM <Algorithm> <Configuration File> <Hash List>.

In the list of supported password decryption modes, you can find brute force, by rule, combined, dictionary, hybrid, insertion, mask, permutation, and toggle case attacks. There are also preset dictionaries with the top 100, 1,000 and 10,000 most popular passwords as well as top 100 domains, among others. Among its wide range of supported algorithms are Blake 224, 256, 384 and 512, CRC 64, Haval 128, 160, 192, 224 and 256 as well as MD2, MD4 and MD5.

The extra utilities are made to check lists of unsalted hashes against all possible algorithms, generate complex hashes and checksums for all passwords in a source file, get substring from lines, parse email lists, process folders, remove the last column from lines, sort big dictionaries, test all DLL modules within Hash Manager, and so on.

All aspects considered, Hash Manager provides you with rich features for recovering passwords to checksums. It's optimized to support large hash lists and multiple threads, has a modular architecture, and enables you to load any number of hashes, rules, masks, and dictionaries.
