Hash Cracker

Hash Cracker is a software tool that was developed in Java specifically to help individuals crack hash algorithms, using brute force or a wordlist from the hard drive.

This utility is portable, which means that the installation process can be skipped. As a consequence, the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer any kind of changes, and no leftovers will remain after its removal from the hard drive.

Another important aspect to take into consideration is that by placing the program files to a removable storage unit, you unlock the possibility of running Hash Cracker on the fly, on any machine you have been granted access to, by simply clicking the EXE.

This software app supports multiple types of hashes, namely MD2, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512. In addition to that, you can use brute force to crack them, as well as a specified wordlist. The first one lets you use alpha numeric characters and symbols, and it also lets you input the minimum and maximum word lengths, while the former supports import from TXT files.

CPU and memory usage is kept at a low level at all times, which means that the computer’s performance is not going to be affected at all, and you can use this program alongside others, without experiencing any kind of issues.

To sum up, Hash Cracker is a useful and quite efficient piece of software, for those interested in cracking a hash code. It presents an intuitive interface, extensive Help contents and a good response time. We did not detect any errors or crashes, yet it could definitely benefit from an update.
