Hash Kracker by SecurityXploded offers a robust and user-friendly solution for recovering passwords from hashed data, making it essential for security professionals and ethical hackers.
Most online websites do not directly store the user account password, instead they convert it into one of hash types such as MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and then store it. Same approach is followed by some of the desktop applications.
These are one way hash algorithms. That means you cannot decrypt the hash to get back your original password. In such cases HashKracker can help you to recover your hash password.
