HashCracker

Description

HashCracker is a small project that consists of two python scripts: hasher.py and cracker.py. The hasher.py script takes a list of passwords and creates usernames in format userXXX (where XXX are three digits) and then hashes the passwords with SHA-256 hash function and finally writes the resulting username-password hash pairs to a file. The cracker.py script compares a list of password hashes to a list of popular password hashes and writes username-password pairs to a file if there is a match.

Usage

1. Run hasher.py:

python hasher.py

2. Run cracker.py:

python cracker.py

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• hashlib
• csv

Inputs

• hasher.py takes a csv file passwords.csv as input.
• cracker.py takes two csv files as input: user_password_hashes.csv and popular.csv.

Outputs

• hasher.py outputs a csv file user_password_hashes.csv.
• cracker.py outputs a txt file hits.txt.
