It is with great pleasure that today I announce the first release of Jabbercracky, the hash-cracking web service. MD5, NTLM, LM, and HalfLM are currently fully supported. Jabbercracky will only work on Linux/Posix systems.
Jabbercracky makes use of a two-pass hash cracking method. In the first pass, the submitted hash is tried against a local collection of rainbow tables. In the second pass, the hash is passed along to a Cuda-compatable GPU for brute-forcing.
I’ve been hosting a Jabbercracky server with a large collection of rainbow tables on ChaosVPN since January, and I’ve recently done a bit of work packaging it as a Python module, so you can host your own cracking service with your own collection of rainbow tables!
On ChaosVPN, the service is available at: http://hash.colab.hack or http://10.100.23.1
The Jabbercracky module is currently being hosted on the Python Package Index, so all you need to do to install is:
1) easy_install jabbercracky
2) Go to the jabbercracky egg directory in site-packages and follow the installation instructions in INSTALL.txt
In future versions, Jabbercracky will live up to its name and also provide an XMPP-based interface, so you can crack hashes on your beefy hardware at home from the comfort of your mobile phone!
If you have any interest in participating in the development of Jabbercracky, please drop me a line!
