<br />
In cryptography, encryption is the process of transforming 
information (referred to as plaintext) using an algorithm (called 
cipher) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special 
knowledge, usually referred to as a key. The result of the process is 
encrypted information (in cryptography, referred to as ciphertext). In 
many contexts, the word encryption also implicitly refers to the reverse
 process, decryption (e.g. “software for encryption” can typically also 
perform decryption), to make the encrypted information readable again 
(i.e. to make it unencrypted). Hashing is a one way encryption. That 
means that it is not possible to use a reverse algorithm in order to 
come back from the hash to the password. Any way people found a way to 
crack hashes by using a bruteforce or dictionary attacks. Because of 
this hashing was made even more secure. After reading the whole tutorial
 you will get the point.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.Hashing Algorithms</span></span><br />
<br />
Cracking any hash is not that simple like running a bruteforcer. 
Sometimes a bruteforcer or a dictionary attack will do the job but only 
in a very rare situations where the algorithm is a plain md5 and where 
the hash is without salt. Plain md5 algorithm ? What does that mean ? 
Nowadays people use more complicated algorithms in order to increase the
 security. For example a plain md5 is an algorithm like this:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="codeblock">
<div class="title">
Code:</div>
<div class="body" dir="ltr" style="color: #666666;">
<code>md5($pass)</code></div>
</div>
<br />
What is this going to do ? This is going to make a md5 hash from the
 given pass. But what happens if you have something like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="codeblock">
<div class="title">
Code:</div>
<div class="body" dir="ltr" style="color: #666666;">
<code>md5(md5($pass))</code></div>
</div>
<br />
This makes first one md5 from the password and then another md5 hash
 from the new generated md5. So for example if the password is HI the 
results will be:<br />
<br />
<div class="codeblock">
<div class="title">
Code:</div>
<div class="body" dir="ltr" style="color: #666666;">
<code>first one : md5("HI") = "bf8c144140b15befb8ce662632a7b76e"<br />
second one: md5(md5"HI") = "ce8441edc9a85ed9839a849f99ed5ecc"</code></div>
</div>
<br />
So as you can see for a same password we have two different MD5s. That
 is why when you are trying to crack a MD5 or any other hash ( the upper
 mentioned cases are the same for any other encryption out there ) it is
 very important to know the algorithm that was used to generate those 
hashes coz otherwise bruteforcing will have no sense and you will be 
stuck forever... There for always use a bruteforcer that allows you to 
enter the hash algorithm so that you can be sure that eventually you 
will find the password...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. SALTS</span></span><br />
<br />
What is a Salt ? Why do people use Salts ? Hashing became even more 
secure way of encrypting passwords with the use of Salts. Salt is 
actually a random pass phrase that is added to the main password. How it
 is added depends from the algorithm that was used. Salts are being used
 coz bruteforcing a salted hash without knowing the Salt is impossible. 
For example imagine that you have a password HI. See what happens in the
 next cases if we take 1234567890 for a salt:<br />
<br />
<div class="codeblock">
<div class="title">
Code:</div>
<div class="body" dir="ltr">
<code><span style="color: #666666;">md5($pass) => md5("HI") = "bf8c144140b15befb8ce662632a7b76e"</span><br style="color: #666666;" /><span style="color: #666666;">
md5($pass,$salt) => md5("HI1234567890") = "4f4d880dbc772fb6acba84a98bce6136</span>"</code></div>
</div>
<br />
That is why cracking a salted hash without knowing the hash is 
impossible... But what happens if we know that salt ? Then we need to 
specify in our bruteforcer like previous mentioned the algorithm in our 
case => md5($pass,$salt) and we need to specify the salt. Knowing 
this the bruteforcer will perform the attack like a normal bruteforce 
except it will add the salt to every combination he makes. On the paper 
it goes like this :<br />
<br />
<div class="codeblock">
<div class="title">
Code:</div>
<div class="body" dir="ltr" style="color: #666666;">
<code>A1234567890<br />
AA1234567890<br />
AAA1234567890<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.</code></div>
</div>
<br />
...and so on and so on. So basically every combination will end with 
1234567890 and the only thing generated will be the thing before 
1234567890. The use of Salts as you can see makes hashing even more 
secure.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Cracking</span></span><br />
<br />
Cracking was mentioned during the whole tutorial but in here I will 
make a precise list of what you need to think before starting with 
decryption.<br />
<br />
- First of all you need to figure out what type of hash do you have ( md5, sha1, mysql... )<br />
- Then you need you need to see figure out if the hash is salted or not. If the hash is salted then you need the salt aswell<br />
- Having the salt is not enough. You need to find the algorithm that 
was used. Only then you will be able to start with the decryption. <br />
- If you came to all this things somehow you are ready to start with decryption.</div>
