Cracking Story - How I Cracked Over 122 Million SHA1 and MD5 Hashed Passwords

.... as I only own a classic computer configuration with an AMD Phenom II 4 cores at 3,2 Mhz in addition to an ATI/AMD 5770 graphics card

The password cracking tools I used during this long trip were John the Ripper and oclHashcat-plus. This article is about cracking the provided MD5 hashes of KoreLogic only, but the same strategy was also applied to the SHA1 hashes.
Updates:
  • 08/29/2012 – New example in the John the Ripper section: "Crack double MD5 hashes with the help of dict2hash.pl script"
  • 08/29/2012 – New download! All in one sorted and cleaned version.
