Password cracking

An amazing index of brute-force commands
https://book.hacktricks.xyz/brute-force
Before you brute force. Ask yourself: have you found a user list on the website? If so look through it for stand out names like dev, test, admin. These might be concealed in the big username list you found. Trust me, scan through the list. Also sort for unique names - save you brute forcing the same name. Lesson learned on PG! ....*cough Interface*

patator http_fuzz url=http://$ip/login method=POST body='username=FILE0&password=FILE1' 0=allusers.txt 1=$ROCKYOU -x ignore:fgrep=Unauthorized | fast webform bruteforce |
The POST request contained json
{"username":"aaa","password":"bbbb"}
. Patator didn't like it so I had to change it to 'username=FILE0&password=FILE1'

hash-identifier
I have found that I can squeeze some more power out of my hash cracking by adding these parameters:
--force -O -w 4 --opencl-device-types 1,2
These will force Hashcat to use the CUDA GPU interface which is buggy but provides more performance (–force) , will Optimize for 32 characters or less passwords (-O) and will set the workload to "Insane" (-w 4) which is supposed to make your computer effectively unusable during the cracking process. Finally "--opencl-device-types 1,2 " will force HashCat to use BOTH the GPU and the CPU to handle the cracking.

Not So Secure has built a custom rule that I have had luck with in the past:
https://www.notsosecure.com/one-rule-to-rule-them-all/
The rule can be downloaded from their Github site:
https://github.com/NotSoSecure/password_cracking_rules
I typically drop OneRuleToRuleThemAll.rule into the rules subfolder and run it like this from my windows box (based on the notsosecure article):
hashcat64.exe --force -m300 --status -w3 -o found.txt --remove --potfile-disable -r rules\OneRuleToRuleThemAll.rule hash.txt rockyou.txt

After grabbing or dumping the NTDS.dit and SYSTEM registry hive or dumping LSASS memory from a Windows box, you will often end up with NTLM hashes.
Path | Description |
C:\Windows\NTDS\ntds.dit | Active Directory database |
C:\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM | Registry hive containing the key used to encrypt hashes |
And using Impacket to dump the hashes
impacket-secretsdump -system SYSTEM -ntds ntds.dit -hashes lmhash:nthash LOCAL -outputfile ntlm-extract
You can crack the NTLM hash dump usign the following hashcat syntax:
hashcat64 -m 1000 -a 0 -w 4 --force --opencl-device-types 1,2 -O d:\hashsample.hash "d:\WORDLISTS\realuniq.lst" -r OneRuleToRuleThemAll.rule

A service principal name (SPN) is a unique identifier of a service instance. SPNs are used by Kerberos authentication to associate a service instance with a service logon account. This allows a client application to request that the service authenticate an account even if the client does not have the account name. KRB5TGS - Kerberoasting Service Accounts that use SPN Once you have identified a Kerberoastable service account (Bloodhound? Powershell Empire? - likely a MS SQL Server Service Account), any AD user can request a krb5tgs hash from it which can be used to crack the password.
Based on my benchmarking, KRB5TGS cracking is 28 times slower than NTLM.
Hashcat supports multiple versions of the KRB5TGS hash which can easily be identified by the number between the dollar signs in the hash itself.
- 13100 - Type 23 - $krb5tgs$23$
- 19600 - Type 17 - $krb5tgs$17$
- 19700 - Type 18 - $krb5tgs$18$

Hashcat appears to have issues with some zip hash formats generated from zip2john. You can fix this by editing the zip hash contents to align with the example zip hash format found on the hash cat example page:
$zip2$*0*3*0*b5d2b7bf57ad5e86a55c400509c672bd*d218*0**ca3d736d03a34165cfa9*$/zip2$
John seems to accept a wider range of zip formats for cracking.
