    This is a great time to learn about hashcat.

      Isn’t that the tool that let’s you brute force weak encrypted containers? I remember saving my sister that got a pin secured container and the pin was coming over mail/on a different channel (she needed it as fast as possible)…

      Well it was a 4 digit pin and my very old notebook took a few hours. Even less if my sister would have told me that it was a 4 digit nummeric pin and not alphanumeric.

      So yea. Hashcat will be your friend. Afaik can also take guesses.

        How fast it is depends entirely on the application.

        But yes, it can do all sorts of fancy things like rule expansions, word combinations and custom character brute force.

        It sits in that conceptual corner.

        Hashcat is the standard password recovery tool. It supports a whole bunch of applications. It’s fast and optimized. It’s by definition the right tool for the job.

        Kali is a Linux distribution that incorporates a bunch of security related tools, including hashcat. But you can just download the hashcat program and run it on windows or Mac.
