Now I know and you know the password length is 9
Bear in mind this takes a very long time to crack as it will go by all combinations You can also use a dictionary file with hashcat but in this example, I want to show you a way you do not need a dictionary. It can take a while but if the password is on the list it will crack it Cracking Keepass database file with Hashcat and no Dictionary fileįirst, we need to open the hash file we have created and remove the name of the database so hashcat can handle the hash file
Type in the following command to start John to crack the password john -wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt Keepasshash.txt The best list can be downloaded here SecLists/Passwords at master On Kali Linux, we already have those dictionary files. This is basically a file with all command passwords we hold against the hash to see if it is correct. Type in the following command to retrieve the hash and put it in a file called keepasshash.txt keepass2john Database.kdbx > Keepasshash.txt Cracking the KeePass database with John the Ripper Open a terminal and navigate to the location of the file. We first need to extract the hash from the file so John can understand and crack this hash. Once we have this password we can then use this to open the database and retrieve all the passwords Cracking the Keepass Database file
If you have the file we can extract the main password hash out of the file and use brute force to get this password. It stores the password in a local password database and when opening this file with the KeePass program it prompts you for the main password. KeePass is a free open-source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords. However, you can install the tools you need on any other Linux system. I’m using Kali Linux to get the result as all tools are already pre-installed. We are going to use keepass2john to get the hash that john the ripper can use to retrieve the password. This guide will show you how to crack a KeePass Database file by retrieving the Master password from a Keepass database (.kdbx) file which we can use to unlock the database file to get all the passwords stored in this file.
