Now there's a file in the folder as well called MD5 and in here I have a very simplistic MD5
hash and this one is going to be brute-forced and that's because we're not applying a word list to
it and that's because Hashcat if you go in that link that I gave you for the actual help file
with it that gives all the different modes and everything one of them is MD5 and this may seem
familiar to you because that's the same hashing algorithm that Cisco uses for their passwords if
you remember in the previous skill. So you could actually take some of those hashes if they aren't
salted and go in here and just create a hash list of your own and just apply the proper mode to it
and make sure that you run Hashcat on it. So if you could see inside of here I'm going to zoom in
for you and you can see I have Hashcat mode 0 which is the MD5 mode attack 0 for brute force
and I'm going to point it to the actual MD5 file. So I'm going to go ahead and run that and that's
going to take a little bit so I'm going to jump ahead to when it's actually complete. I'll be
right back. Let's check in real quick and see how we're doing as far as time goes to crack this MD5.
It's been 18 hours. It'll never stop. It just keeps going like it's trying to go through every
permutation in existence. That's right it just keeps going and going through every permutation
in existence when you're trying to do a brute force attack which is why we're going to kind of
skip through this and just keep going through the skill but it will eventually because I'm
going to let this keep going on the local side to keep going and hopefully I can remember that
in a later skill I'll tell you how long this actually took because we are quite a bit of
ways in it at this point because I've been having to jump around and record different parts of this
skill.
