rule-runner.sh

A quick script to run hashcat through some wordlists and rules. We've had really great cracking rates on NTLM hashes using this methodology. This script just automates that process, in a set-it-and-forget-it way. Everything write to the same pot file, so it won't keep trying to crack the same hashes when the wordlists/rules change. Drop all your wordlists and rules in to the directories in lines 11-45, or modify the script to point to your specific directories.

Usage

./rule-runner.sh <hash_file> <hashcat_mode>
