Brute Forcer -- Should I continue?

Shebang · 07-20-2013, 02:04 PM

I was bored this morning, so I figured I should try and make an automatically configured bruteforcer. All you have to do is enter your hash and the type of hash (supports SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, RIPEMD160 and MD5) and it will check to see if it's a 1-character, 2-character, and so on-length string. Is it something I should finish? I likely would stop at about 8 length, because with a charset of 62 characters (upper, lower and 0-9) that's 218,340,105,584,896 hashes that need to be calculated, or should I make the charset just lower, shortening it to only 208,827,064,576 hashes at 8 length? In a sec, I'll post a screenshot of how long it takes to find a hash of 4 length, at about 5khash/sec.

Time it took to match the hash I gave it:

Averaging 10,165 hash/s on a Dual-Core i3 @ 2.4Ghz.
A half decent machine on just CPU (Quad-core @ 3GHz+) could probably get around 25,000 hash/s.

Eerhm... What did you just say?

What exactly are you confused about? Tongue

Did 218 trillion possibilities scare you?

Bruteforcers are all silly.
But if it kills time, go for it.
Some'll find a use for it.

I'll probably just make it something to do when I don't have ideas Tongue

No, it's just I don't fucking know what this is all about. Explain.

If you had a hash that you didn't know the original value of, this would try and calculate all the possible things the password could be.

Ah like that, well go for the highest amount if this is what it does. Any decent computer now has a very good CPU to calculate such things, and it only gets faster...
