Hi,

This post is about Crack The Hash room on TryHackMe.Com. This room is free for everyone so everyone can join it. Its challenge us to crack some hashes.

Description: A guide to crack hashes of crack the hash room on tryhackme.

To identify and crack the hashes I referred to some websites.

1. https://hashes.com/en/decrypt/hash
2. https://crackstation.net/

Or some inbuilt tools in Kali Linux which are

1. Hash-Identifier || or install it by typing “sudo apt install hash-identifier” 3. Hashid || or install it by typing “sudo apt install hashid
2. Hashcat || or install it by typing “sudo apt install hashcat”

Hash 1

48bb6e862e54f2a795ffc4e541caed4d

Lets find the hash type by hash-identifier and we got its MD5.shown in fig 2.0.

Hash 4

$2y$12$Dwt1BZj6pcyc3Dy1FWZ5ieeUznr71EeNkJkUlypTsgbX1H68wsRom

Here we use hashid for check hash type.

fig- 7.0

Here we got it.Lets crack it by hashcat(it will take long time) by following command.

hashcat -a 0 -m 3200 [hash file] [location/rockyou.txt]

hash 7

1DFECA0C002AE40B8619ECF94819CC1B

fig- 12.0

Its a NTLM type hash.

Hash 8

$6$aReallyHardSalt$6WKUTqzq.UQQmrm0p/T7MPpMbGNnzXPMAXi4bJMl9be.cfi3/qxIf.hsGpS41BqMhSrHVXgMpdjS6xeKZAs02.

Salt: aReallyHardSalt

fig- 14.0

its SHA-512 type hash.

We use hashcat for crack this hash by following command:

hashcat -a 0 -m 1800 [hash file] [location/rockyou.txt]

fig- 15.0

Password — waka99

Hash 9

e5d8870e5bdd26602cab8dbe07a942c8669e56d6

Salt: tryhackme

fig- 16.0

It Hint we can see its HMAC-SHA1 but its salted so we use ‘HMAC-SHA1 (key = $salt)’.

Your hash should be written like this “e5d8870e5bdd26602cab8dbe07a942c8669e56d6:tryhackme”

We be use following command-

hashcat -a 0 -m 160 [hash_file] [location/rockyou.txt]
