Password cracking GUI
Motivation
Equipped with lists of password hashes from previous steps in the penetration testing process, testers face the challenge of finding a minimum of one password. In cases where many penetration testers share one resource (e.g. one workstation with high performance GPUs), job scheduling becomes a challenge when using the command line tool hashcat. There are different hashcat-based open source tools that provide job scheduling as well as a graphical user interfaces to monitor the jobs states. A list of these tools include
- WebHashcat
- WaveCrack
- CrackLord
- Hashtopolis
Besides checking if there are more open source password-cracking tools with job scheduling, the named tools should be benchmarked using one or two Nvidia GTX 980 graphic cards. An evaluation of the provided functions should help choosing a tool for real world cases.
