A multithreaded program to crack PKCS#12 files (p12 and pfx extensions) by Aestu
crackpkcs12 is a tool to audit PKCS#12 files passwords (extension .p12 or .pfx). It's written in C and uses openssl library.
It works on GNU/Linux and other UNIX systems.
His author is aestu and his license is GPLv3+ slightly modified to use openssl library.
You have to install libssl development library. libssl-dev is the package in Debian like distros and openssl-devel in RedHat like distros.
Afterwards, you can follow the standard process:
tar -xf crackpkcs12*
cd crackpkcs12*
./configure
make
sudo make installcrackpkcs12 is able to perform two types of attack: Dictionary (no dictionary is provided) or brute force.
Use help message to read the params description:
crackpkcs12 -h A simple dictionary attack:
crackpkcs12 -d dictionary.txt certificate.pfxA simple brute force attack:
crackpkcs12 -b certificate.pfxA combinate attack. When dictionary attack finishes, a brute force attack starts:
crackpkcs12 -b -d dictionary.txt certificate.pfxA combinate attack. When dictionary attack finishes, a brute force attack starts. Brute force attack uses just lower and upper case letters:
crackpkcs12 -d dictionary.txt -b -caA certificate.pfxA combinate attack. When dictionary attack finishes, a brute force attack starts. Brute force attack uses just numbers and minimun length of passwords is 5:
crackpkcs12 -d dictionary.txt -b -cn -m5 certificate.pfx
