# Automated Password Cracking and Hash Analysis Tool

## Overview

This tool automates the process of analyzing password hashes, identifying the hashing algorithms, and cracking the hashes using either dictionary or brute-force attacks.

It supports common hash algorithms like MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and bcrypt.

## Features

- Identify common hash types (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, bcrypt).

- Crack hashes using dictionary-based attacks (with customizable wordlists).

- Optionally perform brute-force attacks for weak hashes.

- Generate a detailed HTML report on the cracking results.

## Requirements

- Python 3.x

- Required libraries listed in `requirements.txt` (install via `pip`)

## Installation

Clone this repository and install the required dependencies

## Example Output of `cracker.py`

```bash

Enter hash to crack: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

Identified hash type: md5

Password cracked: password

Cracking completed in 3.45 seconds.

```

### Generated Report (HTML)

```html

Hash Cracking Report

    
Hash Cracking Report

    
Hash: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

    
Hash Type: md5

    
Cracked Password: password


```

### Explanation

1. **Input**: The user is prompted to input a hash value to crack (e.g., `5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99`).

2. **Hash Identification**: The script identifies the hash type (`md5` in this case).

3. **Cracking Process**:

   - The script first attempts to crack the hash using a dictionary attack with a wordlist.

   - If the dictionary attack fails, it then attempts brute-force cracking.

   - In this example, the password (`password`) is successfully cracked using the dictionary attack.

4. **Time Taken**: The total cracking time is shown (e.g., `3.45 seconds`).

5. **HTML Report**: A report is generated in HTML format, displaying the hash, hash type, and cracked password.
