Indeed, when you need to determine the password behind a hash, you can brute-force it with local tools like hashcat but also go a little faster by consulting databases of already constituted passwords
But it takes a long time to go through all these databases. Fortunately, with the help of the free tool Search That Hash, you can automate this process and get the result in a few seconds. And if you are offline, Search The Hash is also able to run hashcat to try to determine the password.
Here is the
In terms of options you can give it a hash only, or a file containing several hashes. This one will determine the type of hash and you can if you want output the result in JSON format.
To install STH, enter the following command:
pip install search-that-hash
Then launch the tool with the command :
sth
However, keep in mind that the hashes you enter in this tool will be sent to third party services, so potentially your password in clear text and its associated hash will then feed these databases.
I hope you'll enjoy it
