Hacking Complex Passwords with Rules & Munging 

Colabcat bans your google account if you use it

Finding the right combination of rules and wordlists is tedious, and I believe it's necessary to use a technique for filtering out duplicate attempts. The hashcat-brain allows you to do just that, which is why I blindly think it's awesome.

Knew about OneRuleToRuleThemAll, but learned about CEWL & munging passwords, thank you for another great video! 🙏

Great video john! But my english is a bit bad i didnt understand what "Munging" meant that you have in your title so i decided to google it and the first link that popped was of the urban dictionary and now im traumatized for my whole life!

"Psudohash" can also be added to this mix of awesome tools. It can generate millions of keyword-based mutations in seconds, based on (customizable) leet character substitutions, char-case variations and literally all of the unique word mutations these two methods evaluate to, when combined. It can also append common padding values before or after each word mutation (frequently used to make passwords longer / more complex, e.g. "!@#", "!!!" and so on) as well as range of year values in various patterns (and more).

I just used AI to convert munge to python3, works great

You know what John?! , I've learned many things from you. Thank you 🤩

How did you crack the password in only a couple minutes? I did everything you did and have been running John for half an hour.

love your videos sir im 17 years,,from kenya,just got a pc now its time to try some hack the box.

That’s not the type of munging I know about 🤪

Very interesting video! Just cracking these hashes like nothing... To the sponsor segment: I don't need Passbolt, I have a password manager built-in to Firefox.

You are not safe if you're not using a password manager, some 2FA will also go a long way! cool content John!

I hope that you will make a video by hacking the Mikrotik server, the latest update

How about password masking attacks? You able to showcase those techniques?

This is cool but now most often the hashes are of salted passwords , so its complex to crack those , btw this hack works on leet style wifi passwords 😅

Hey calm down, you are speaking way too fast! Using online services to store password is a madness

Enjoy the movie!

it would be good to educate your viewers about the benefits of password length in defeating brute forcing attempts at password cracking like this. would you have attempted this video demo on a password hash for a password that was between 15 and 20 characters and only used 3 simple unrelated lowercase dictionary words? That would be a great educational video to watch John. I enjoyed this video btw 👍😀

Certainly not the word we need to be using in the cyber sec space. yikes.

Man you're awesome.

Passbolt caught my interest

Chatgpt might allucinate and add words that were not in the list

What about the app that I download to get the password and email

😮 that munge script looks awesome

He mentioned that basic dictionary words should never be used in a password, but aren't these words the basis for things like diceware? Is diceware no longer considered good enough for generating passwords?

Thank you for this Great 👍 content But what if passbolt got hacked My passwords will be available online like what happened with LastPass?

Got stopped by Google trying to use collabcat... Something about "potential abuse". Oh well!

I thought colabcat is dead, thanks to some detecting mech. of google and a use restriction that forbids password cracking

@JohnHammond FYI: DO NOT USE THE COLABCAT IF YOU WANT TO USE GOOGLE COLAB NOTEBOOKS FOR REGULAR USE! YOU WILL GET SUSPENDED for violating their terms and conditions. Wish i knew this before trying to run the notebooks.

isn't there a standard Python 2 to 3 converter? 2to3 I should change my passwords.

Hey plz make video on Krack attack or Router firmware backdooring😊

Cewl video John! :)

What’s munging

Mor explaining this video hash cat comment skills tools files open

I would highly recommend spraygen :). And thanks for a superb video John!

I think u just hate JTR cause that had ur name there. Be honest john 😌

Google will ban if you is use hashcat. I been banned already

Pro tip, put emoji in your password and keep it at least 12 characters long, there you have uncrackable password, no matter what you put as password.

This is not working for hacking nearby wifi. Don't waste your time it's just an add video

9:55 What are the odds of two different users generate the same password?

i just learnt this in my RED team course :) Cewl!

What a goated video

Know any rules that will play around with salts?

Bitwarden ftw

Haven't watched yet, already hyped, will edit once I've watched

So you look and sound like Seth Rogen 😮😮

Thanks, John. Most illuminating.

Try 2to3 to fix python2.

Jupiter nod output coming

A bit meta, but related - after hearing about Passbolt from you and looking into it my problem with it is not the concept, but rather what seems like deceptive - at minimum misleading - marketing on their website. There’s no desktop app, but they have images meant to look like screenshots of a desktop app running on MacOS. Second, these MacOS screenshots hint at MacOS “native” - but Safari is conspicuously absent from the supported browsers. It’s disappointing that a desktop app and Safari support are missing. Disappointment, however, turns to suspicion when presented with mockups masquerading as a real product. If I feel like I’m being deceived, none of the outstanding features or benefits matter.

Cool video, thx!

This is awesome! Please do rainbow tables next 🙂

John.. John Hammond.

Hey John, great video once again. I've been meaning to ask something. What's a good course for learning Web App Pentesting out there?

*dies of cringe*

THANKS JOHN!!!!!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!!!! ENJOY THE MOVIE...... BE BLESSED❤️🙏

M U N G

no , no1 should use python2 anymore just edit the code and make it work for python3 print("like this dummy")

super

Good

COOL

Thanks John.

❤

I DONT Recommande USING PASBOLT USE UR BRAIN

@JohnHammond Google Collab was instantly locked after installing colabcat because of misusuing their service. I am now trying to solve this with google. :/ I could not even buy resources anymore after that.

Not saying I've been cracking neighbors wifi but if I was I'd love using rules
