Hash Gewalt 1.2

Posted by compactwater on December5 2007

Hash Gewalt is a console application used for cracking an MD5 hash. It runs using three parameters, executed through cmd in Windows, or with Wine in Linux. Example:
Gewalt.exe -hash /DictionarySize /HashLength
Gewalt.exe -
7f138a09169b250e9dcb378140907378 /62 /3

Which would return “MD5″ in the log file. All hashes are logged to “gewalt.ini” within the same directory as the application (It will goto x:\windows or x:\ if it is in System32). The Dictionary Size is how many characters Hash Gewalt will search through before it returns to the first character. 25 (0-25, meaning full 26) would search though the first 26 lowercase English alphabet letters.

Supported characters for dictionary size:

  • a b c d e f g h i //9
  • j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x //15
  • y z A B C D E F G H I J K L M N //16
  • O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 0 1 2 3 //16
  • 4 5 6 7 8 9 (EN SPACE) //6 (line) 62 (basic)
  • ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + ~ – //15
  • = [ ] \ | ; : ” < > ? , . / //15
  • € ƒ Š Œ Ž ‘ ’ “ ” ™ š œ ž Ÿ, ¡ ¢ //16
  • £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ª « » ¬ ® ¯ ° ² ³ //16
  • ´ µ ¶ ¹ ¼ ½ ¾ ¿ À Á Â Ã Ä Å Æ //15 (line) 70 at ¿ (medium)
  • Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö //16
  • × Ø Ù Ú Û Ü Þ ß à á â ã ä å æ ç //16
  • è é ê ë ì í î ï ð ñ ò ó ô õ ö ø //16
  • ù ú û ü ý þ ÿ //7 (line) 194 (advanced)

The more characters you use, the slower the cracking speed will be, though there is a higher possibility the hash will be found (only if it has less common characters). The hash size can be up to 64, although a hash of that length would take very long to crack. If the hash size is unknown, use ?, and Hash Gewalt will start from 1 to 24 until the hash is cracked. The application will automatically close when it has finished, check the log for the cracked hash. The cracking speed depends on your computer’s speed, and Hash Gewalt’s priority. Setting the priority higher will crack the hash faster, but will use much more processing power. Cracking can take from a few minutes to hours, leave the application running and it will eventually crack the hash.

To test it out, you can make an MD5 Hash.

Through CMD:
Hash Gewalt 1.2

Log file example:
Hash Gewalt 1.2 INI
