Overview

Version 1.4.3 of hashCrack introduces significant updates to streamline user input management and eliminate duplicate entries in status files. These enhancements focus on improving user experience and ensuring data consistency during hash cracking sessions. Additionally, input clarity has been enhanced with real-time feedback for a more intuitive interface.

Key Features in v1.4.3

1. New Modules for User Input Management

• Two new modules have been added to improve the handling of user inputs and their integration with core operations:
  • linux_inputs.py and windows_inputs.py: Manage all user interactions via the CLI, ensuring input validation and real-time feedback.
• These modules improve the overall interface, reducing the chances of user error and providing a cleaner interaction flow.

2. Duplicate Password Correction in Status Files

• A new function has been implemented to detect and remove duplicate password entries from the status.txt files generated during hash cracking sessions.
• This ensures cleaner logs and prevents redundancy, optimizing performance in large-scale cracking operations.
• The deduplication process runs seamlessly during operations, requiring no manual intervention.

3. Enhanced Input Interface with Real-Time Feedback

• Inputs provided by users are now displayed back on the CLI in real-time, ensuring clarity and reducing ambiguity.
• The enhanced interface highlights active input fields, improving the overall user experience, especially for new users.

Main Modules

1. Core Modules (hashCrack/)

   • hashCrack.py: Main entry point for the CLI tool.
   • functions.py: Core logic supporting cracking operations.

2. New Input Modules (hashCrack/)

   • linux_inputs.py and windows_inputs.py: Handle user input collection and validation.

3. Platform-Specific Scripts (scripts/linux/, scripts/windows/)

   • Optimized cracking implementations for brute force, wordlists, rules, and hybrid attacks.

Key Improvements

• Input Validation: User inputs are checked for common errors (e.g., invalid file paths or malformed hashes) before processing.
• Real-Time Feedback: Inputs are echoed back with formatting to confirm their validity.
• Data Consistency: Deduplication of password entries in status files improves result accuracy and system performance.

Known Issues

• WPA2 cracking still relies on third-party tools (e.g., aircrack-ng), which are not bundled with hashCrack.
• The Windows version has improved but remains under testing; some platform-specific features may not yet be stable.

    - Wordlist
    - Rule-based
    - Brute-force
    - Hybrid attacks (Wordlist + Mask, Mask + Wordlist)
• Session Management: Continue your cracking sessions by pausing and resuming, preserving session state and results.
• Advanced Logging and Monitoring: Log files are generated for each session, allowing users to track progress and results, and resume interrupted sessions.
• Interactive Menu: Easy-to-use interface for configuring cracking parameters with simplicity and flexibility.

Main Modules

1. rule.py: Handles rule-based attacks by combining a wordlist with rules for more complex password attempts.
2. check_dependencies.py: Ensures all required dependencies are installed and functioning properly.

Additional Notes

• File Compatibility: Ensure that wordlists, rules, and masks are placed in the wordlists, rules, and masks folders for compatibility with hashCrack.
• Resource Recommendations: For additional wordlists, check repositories like SecLists and other curated sources.

Known Issues

• While this release has been tested on both Linux and Windows, some environments may still experience compatibility issues with specific packages.
