This project aims to provide functionality, written in standard C that can perform the exact same magic as the hashcat, but without requiring OpenCL libraries, and proprietary devices. Getting hashcat (for me anyways) after this OpenCL requirement has constantly been finickey, as hashcat no longer supports CPU cracking.
My personal goal is to get the most commonly used algorithms (the algos that I personally would like to have access to) working on my parallella. This device (and the devices that follow it) have a very promising future. Simply put, it is a co-processor without on board cache, so each processor simply accesses the onboard RAM. While this is slower in comparison, the potential exists to have upwards of 512 core cpus, of the same size. With more onboard RAM, this type of device (even with the price tripled) has more potential than leading GPU crackers.
Once you have the git repo cloned onto your machine, a simple
make
will compile the project for you. Because there aren't a bunch of features.
hasher takes in a wordlist from stdin (pipe in your newline delimited
wordlist) and (for now) on stdout the output format looks like this:
hash:plaintext
This allows you to pipe the output into something like 'grep' to actually get the output. An example run might be something like this:
echo -n "hello" | ./hasher | grep 066DDFD4EF0E9CD7C256FE77191EF43C
The thought is that when the hash pops out, you've got the plain text.
