How did you get a breakdown of all the passwords used? Did you try to crack them yourself, or has the cracked passwords been posted? I'm trying to figure out if my own password has been compromised.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoI assume that he just grepped for the md5 hash of the common passwords he tried. e.g., grep `md5 -s 'password' | cut -d ' ' -f 4` password_file | wc -l
- MadGouki 15y agoAll you need to do to figure out the hash for a password is take the MD5 hash of it. My guess is the commenter you replied to just took some common passwords and some no-brainers and did a quick little "find all" for each hash. Here's a tool you can use to generate MD5 hashes for given passwords: http://www.iwebtool.com/md5?string=stratfor http://www.iwebtool.com/md5?string=stratfor Going from the hashes to the passwords requires brute forcing, dictionary attacks, that sort of thing.
