Sally Vandeven// TL;DR – Passwords stored using reversible encryption, even if they are VERY LONG, can be trivially reversed by an attacker. Password cracking is quite enjoyable. It is very satisfying to launch Hashcat, throw a bunch of hashes at it and watch the progress over minutes, which turns into hours and then days. It does […]
Kent R. Ickler // In my last post, I was building a password cracking rig and updating an older rig with new GPU cards. I struggled during the design process to find a reliable source of information regarding accurate Hashcat benchmarks. As promised I am posting unaltered benchmarks of our default configuration benchmarks. Nothing was […]
