hashcat:tldr:f0a6c
This command is using the hashcat tool to perform a password cracking attack on a specific hash value.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
hashcat
: This is the name of the tool/command itself, which is used for password cracking. -
--hash-type ${hash_type_id}
: This flag specifies the type of hash algorithm used in the hash value that needs to be cracked.${hash_type_id}
is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual hash type ID. For example, it could beMD5
,SHA1
, orNTLM
. -
--attack-mode ${0}
: This flag indicates the attack mode to be used by hashcat.${0}
is another placeholder for the specific attack mode ID. The actual value depends on the attack mode you want to use. For example,0
stands for Straight,1
for Combination,3
for Brute-force, etc. -
--rules-file ${-usr-share-hashcat-rules-best64-rule}
: This flag specifies the rules file to be applied during the cracking process.${-usr-share-hashcat-rules-best64-rule}
is another placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the rules file on your system. -
${hash_value}
: This is the actual hash value that needs to be cracked. Replace${hash_value}
with the specific hash value you want to crack. -
${-usr-share-wordlists-rockyou-txt}
: This is the path to the wordlist file containing possible passwords to be tested. Replace${-usr-share-wordlists-rockyou-txt}
with the actual path to the wordlist file on your system.
Overall, this command uses hashcat to crack a specific hash value using a specified hash type, attack mode, rules file, and wordlist.
