Online Hash Crackers
Format-Specific Cracking
- Once you have identified the hash that you’re dealing with, you can tell john to use it while cracking the provided hash using the following syntax:
john --format=[format] --wordlist=[path to wordlist] [path to file]- Below is the flag to tell John that you’re giving it a hash of a specific format, and to use the following format to crack it
--format=
Example Usage:
john --format=raw-md5 --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt hash_to_crack.txtA Note on Formats:
- When you are telling john to use formats, if you’re dealing with a standard hash type, e.g. md5 as in the example above, you have to prefix it with raw- to tell john you’re just dealing with a standard hash type, though this doesn’t always apply.
