Top 5 Hashcracker-Services for CTF’s

Hi, after a long time I thought, I write something about hashcrack services. Who plays CTF's knows it, at some point you come across a hash value, which must be cracked to get further.

Sometimes Hashcat & co. can be annoying and memory heavy. I thought I would list the TOP 5 hashcracker services here. Why? Well, quite simply the Hashcracker Services have already helped me in some CTF's. Ok, let's start

1) Hashkiller

Ok, it was clear that Hashkiller.co.uk is on top. No wonder, with the selection of hashes, which are supported here. This site offers multicracking, so you can simply upload a file with hashes and the hashes will all be processed. https://hashkiller.io/listmanager

2) Crackstation

The second service on the list is Crackstation. Why this one? Well, I often used this site to crack hashes that e.g. Hashkiller couldn't crack. https://crackstation.net/

3) md5decrypt

This site is very good for MD5 hashes, but it also offers tools to crack e.g. ROT13. For some CTF's like e.g. picoCTF not bad 😄 https://md5decrypt.net/en/

4) OnlineHashCrack

Ok, from the variety of the site is much better than Hashkiller, but what keeps me from it is that it is only limited free. You can crack a lot of things in the course of a CTF's but if the 20Mio wordlist delivers nothing, then you have no choice but to crack the hash yourself with Hashcat. Otherwise, this site is still a good choice. https://www.onlinehashcrack.com/

5) MD5Hashing.net

This service is also interesting, because here we can also crack many hashes. The disadvantage here is that only hashes without salts can be cracked, but fortunately this hardly ever happens in CTFs. https://md5hashing.net/hash

I hope to have helped with this and bye 😄
