Raw Notes

Hashing

• MD5 is not considered secure
• Gtkhash is a tool that comes with Kali that can check hashes
• sha256sum cat1.txt cat2.txt > cats.sha256 → WIll place the hashed contents of cat1.txt and cat2.txt into cats.sha256
  • cat cats.sha256 → Will print and show us the hashes
  • sha256sum -c cats.sha256 → if you send cat1.txt and cat2.txt someone you can also send cats.sha256 and run this command to make sure that the data is intact.
• Rainbow Bridging:
  • Takes the hashed password we have and compares it to a database of well known hashed passwords to see if its already on a list.
  • Crackstation.net is a rainbow bridging tool.
  • john is a cli tool that comes with Kali that can do this for us.
    • john hashlist.hash
