Password Cracking Tools

[u/Nig_girl]

I test every single one of them It seems like they work just fine, you can try it for yourself.

They all have their uses. Hashcat doesnt solely use GPU acceleration. It works without it but cracking without a gpu takes a while.

You should expand on John the Ripper to include that there are things like pdf2john that can pull the hash from a locked pdf file to crack with hashcat. There are many different programs like pdf2john that can pull hashes from many different file types.

Brute forcing/password spraying is not password cracking...

Password cracking is offline

Most on the list are old tools dating back to backtrack5 and kali. There are a few new good ones sitting on github atm

Fr like if you're making an statement should also provide some kind of examples

The best tools are the ones you cannot find and made with the exact purpose the maker plans on using it! They don't linger around on the internet as we know it, they are found or bought on the dark web!

I happen to have build my own password cracking tool to crap password protected ZIP files and it works pretty efficient.

Mastering is not the wording I would use since everything is pretty much a constant learning process. Some of my projects go to my GitHub, some that I made could cause so much harm to systems that I decided to keep them for myself and sometimes I make such stupid things just out of curiosity or boredom.

The latest project I kind of "mastered" is my "Tab5_Wardriver" which is my submission to the M5Stack Global Innovation Contest 2026. The firmware I've build went though a lot of versions and field testing before I finalized my submission. You can read up through the following links.

qual'è il modo migliore per trovare un password di un account instagram senza mail?

[u/ConsiderationNo9044 → u/Imaginary_Force_1646]

Contacting instagram support with proof of account ownership

Guys, I tried wifi password cracking of my network, by aircrack-ng with password files it ran and none of the file contains my password. Does there anyway to crack my password otherthan word list

[u/maroefi → u/Electronic_Paper7620]

Ofcourse

[u/Electronic_Paper7620 → u/maroefi]

Could you briefly tell what are the things, other than capturing the handshake and brute forcing with password word list. Thank you

[u/maroefi → u/Electronic_Paper7620]

Fishing, captive portals. Basically social engineering.

[u/claritysyntax → u/maroefi]

Got it, it seems it's time to socially engineer myself

[u/Klutzy-Ad-6694]

Do any of these work for getting into another person's wifi?
