Welcome to the SHA-1 Password Cracker Console! This tool helps you crack SHA-1 hashes and recover passwords. Don’t worry if you’re new to this—it’s easy to use! Just follow these steps:
- Enter a Hash: Type or paste a valid SHA-1 hash into the input box.
(A hash is a scrambled version of a password, usually a 40-character string like
5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8
.)
- Select Salt Option: If the hash uses a salt (extra data added to the password), choose Yes from the dropdown menu.
- Not sure? Leave it as No—most hashes don’t use salts.
- Click "Execute": Once you’ve entered the hash and selected the salt option, click the Execute button.
- The system will process the hash and attempt to crack it.
- View the Result: If the hash is cracked successfully, the original password will appear below the button.
- You can also view all cracked passwords in the table below, along with a Copy button to easily copy the result.
- Try Sample Hashes: If you’re just testing the tool, use sample hashes from the
tests.txt
file in the GitHub repository. These are pre-made hashes to help you get started.
That’s it—you’re ready to go! Feel free to experiment and explore.
