How to Crack MD5 Hash String Passwords with Hashcat

MD5 is a widely used hashing algorithm that converts an alphanumeric string into a fixed-size string by using a hash function. A hash function is a mathematical function that takes in the input string and generates another alphanumeric string. MD5 hashes are often used to store passwords securely, but they can also be cracked by using a tool called Hashcat.

Hashcat is a simple but powerful command line utility that helps us to crack hashes of various types, including MD5. Hashcat works by comparing the hashes of a given wordlist with the target hash, and if they match, it reveals the original password. Hashcat can also use different attack modes, such as brute force, dictionary, or rule-based, to generate passwords more efficiently.

In this article, we will show you how to crack MD5 hash string passwords using Hashcat on a Linux system. You will need to have Hashcat installed on your system, as well as a wordlist file that contains common passwords. You can download Hashcat from here and a wordlist from here. You will also need to have a file that contains the MD5 hashes that you want to crack.

Step 1: Creating a list of MD5 hashes to crack

To create a list of MD5 hashes, we can use the md5sum command. The full command we want to use is:

echo -n \"password\" md5sum > hash.txt

This command will take the input string \"password\" and generate its MD5 hash, then save it to a file called hash.txt. You can repeat this command for any other passwords that you want to hash and append them to the same file. For example, if you want to hash \"hello\" and \"123456\", you can use:

echo -n \"hello\" md5sum >> hash.txt

echo -n \"123456\" md5sum >> hash.txt

Your hash.txt file should look something like this:

Step 2: Running Hashcat to crack MD5 hashes

Now we can start using Hashcat with the wordlist file to crack the MD5 hashes. The general syntax for Hashcat is:

hashcat -m value -a value hashfile wordlist

The -m flag is used to specify the hash type and the -a flag is to specify the attack mode. You can find the list of hash types and attack modes here. For MD5 hashes, the value for -m is 0, and for a dictionary attack, the value for -a is 0. So, assuming that your wordlist file is called rockyou.txt and it is in the same directory as your hash.txt file, you can use this command:

hashcat -m 0 -a 0 hash.txt rockyou.txt

This command will start cracking the MD5 hashes using the rockyou wordlist. If any of the hashes match with any of the passwords in the wordlist, Hashcat will display them on the screen along with their original passwords. For example:

e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e:123456

5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99:password

5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592:hello

You can also use the --show flag to display only the cracked passwords without running Hashcat again aa16f39245
