I am playing around with brute force attack on my home network. I wrote the following script with Python. However progress is a little slow. Does anyone have a.

  1. Python Md5 String

The default implementation of Python (called CPython) uses a (GIL) that effectively only allows one thread to be running at once. For I/O bound multithreaded applications, this is not usually a problem, but for CPU-bound applications like yours, it means you're not going to see much of a multicore speedup.

I'd suggest using a different Python implementation that doesn't have a GIL such as Jython, or rewriting your code to use a different language that doesn't have a GIL. Writing it in natively compiled code is a good idea, but most scripting languages that have an MD5 function usually implement that in native code anyways, so I honestly wouldn't expect much of a speedup between a natively compiled language and a scripting language.

Installing canexel siding. README.md Cracker This tool applies a brute force method against various types of hashes to try and crack them. Currently, the supported hashes are:. MD5. MD4.

LM. NTLM. SHA1.

SHA224. SHA256.

SHA384. SHA512 It tries to be more efficient by parallelizing the work performed on different character sets. For example, if the character set abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ is selected then one worker will work with abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz, another worker will work with ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, and the last worker will work with abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.

Requirements Python 3 Performance While this tool does what it's supposed to, it has some major downfalls. For starters, it's using Python. I'm not saying Python is a bad language or anything like that. The issue is Python's which prevents multiple threads from executing Python's bytecode at the same time.

This means that I am unable to achieve parallelism with threads since only one character set would be worked on at a time. What needs to be done instead is splitting the work up across multiple processes and share data across those processes. This is less efficient than working with threads in general but is a necessary evil with Python.

Recommendations Due to the performance explanations above I would not recommend using Python for these kinds of tools. You could consider this project an example of how to accomplish such a task using Python and an example of what kinds of issues you'd run into. Sure, the tool is certainly usable and works as it should, but if you are serious about building these kinds of tools I would look at using C, C, Rust, or Go. Actually, I take that back. If you want an industry-competitive tool don't bother targeting the CPU.

Instead use C/C that will run on GPUs and utilize CUDA, OpenCL, or ACL.
