Support for DES (Unix) - SecUpwN - 02-15-2011


Good evening Hashcat-Community,

as already discovered in THIS THREAD in the Hashkiller-Forums, some brave Hashcat-Lovers are planning to code a OS independent, universal GUI for Hashcat. What an awesome project! Tongue

Personally, I'd love to support for DES (Unix) integrated in the next version of Hashcat. As atom already mentioned, he is not interested in supporting DES (Unix) - but maybe you guys can convince him somehow? Although the algorithm is quite old, it's far from obsoluete. As a matter of fact, there are numerous hashes out there that are still waiting to be cracked. Please integrate this algorithm, we'll appreciate it!

D3ad0ne has a project.
It's about bruteforcing DES(Unix) hashes on CUDA-capable GPUs.
It's not really public, but you could ask him about it.

Thanks for your kind hint, Rolf! I'll give it a shot. But due to the fact that Hashcat seems the most promising program for cracking hashes to me, I'd still love to see this implemented. Also, I just discovered that atom previously kinda promised to implement the DES algorithm in THIS POLL. I wonder what prevented this intention. To everyone reading this: Would you like to see support for DES added? Share your opinion!

des is old and will lose its interest as time goes by. other things should have an higher priority. it is good to have more supported algorithms but it takes time to integrate them.

There is already an OS independent GUI in active development, indeed it's quite finished.

You see, I'm still searching for the "all-in-one super-uber" hashcracking tool. Sounds to me like DES will NEVER be integrated since "other things" are always coming along. Aww man, that sucks. Which tool would you recommend users for cracking DES (Unix) then, K9?

Thanks for announcing it, kartan! Guess that's what we've been talking about over HERE. Can't wait for a sleek GUI to use on my system! Tongue

I can't recommend any tool for the users. Im not cracking DES hashes. I know there are many people using jtr.
