Hash Code Cracker For Mac

Hash Code Cracker for Mac is a free and open-source application written in Java designed to put the strength of a password to the test by having a go at it through its algorithms.

It’s designed and intended for a certain niche, that of pen testers and security professionals. It’s best to use the application within legal boundaries and for personal tasks like testing the password strength, and not abuse it in any invasive or malicious way, since it’s not a method of attempting to crack security, or reveal passwords.

Being a Java-based software tool, it requires the latest Java Runtime Environment. After unpacking the archive, just launch the executable .jar and directly run it. The file itself is very small and installation isn't a prerequisite, so you can take advantage of its portability and store or carry it even on older devices with low memory capacity. For improved ease of use, it's a good idea to drag and drop its icon into the Mac OS X Application cluster folder.

Hash Code Cracker is divided into three areas encompassing an online cracker, a dictionary attack, and hash code generation respectively.

All that is required for the online cracker is pasting the hash, selecting the signature procedure, and commence the cracking of the hash with the press of a button. After computing, the desired cracked password is generated into a dedicated field.

In regards to dictionary attack, the use of a file browser is possible by selecting a dictionary file and choosing the input case type between uppercase or lowercase and a few other like reverse or double-input and numbers at the end. A couple of fields are shared with the online cracker as well.

Last but not least, a hash code generator is included . It's based on reversal of the previous process in which you input a password and select the hash algorithm. And speaking of hash algorithms, Hash Code Cracker relies on MD5, MD4, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, NTLM and CISCO7.

Worth mentioning is that it can run on any Java-supporting OS (e.g Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).

It's a capable tool that can uncover and create hash algorithms into passwords at a click's behest. Stability and functionality-wise, Hash Code Cracker performed alright and it can suit your needs, preferably a benevolent one.
