## Dictionary Attacks
|
|
|
|
### Basic Dictionary Attack
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --wordlist=dictionary.txt hashfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **wordlist**: This option specifies the dictionary file you'd like to use.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --wordlist=passwords.txt hashes.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### With Rules
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --wordlist=dictionary.txt --rules hashfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **-rules**: This enables John's wordlist rules. You can also specify your own rules.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --wordlist=words.txt --rules=best64.rule hashes.txt
|
|
```

## Brute Force Attacks
|
|
|
|
### Basic Brute Force
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --incremental hashfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --incremental hashes.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Specify Charset
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --incremental=Digits hashfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Here, you can define custom charsets like `Digits`, `Alpha`, `AlphaNum`, etc.
|
|
|
|
### Brute Force with Custom Charset
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --incremental=Custom --mask='?a?a?a?a' hashfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --incremental=Custom --mask='?a?a?a?a?a' hashes.txt
|
|
```
