Hashcat Tutorial and Tips
Hashcat grew to prominence with the rise of Graphics card being used to crack passwords. A powerful tool that is not only very proficient at cracking speed but also able to attack a vast array of hash types. See the help below for a list of the types of hashes that can be attacked.
When thinking of password crackers many are aware of the standard hash types and the cracking of zip files or documents. Not everyone understands that other things can be attacked like passwordsafe, firefox password vaults and encrypted disks.
Of course there are many many more options available when running Hashcat, here is the command line help:
hashcat --help
