Ravan , JavaScript based Distributed Password cracking
By Parth Makadiya You want to crack a hash but your system speed is low?! No need to worry..! Here is solution for you , "Distributed Password Cracking". Let me introduce a new tool called "Ravan" developed by LavaKumar. About Ravan: Ravan is a JavaScript based Distributed Computing system that can perform brute force attacks on salted hashes by distributing the task across several browsers. It makes use of HTML5 WebWorkers to start background JavaScript threads in the browsers of the workers, each worker computes a part of the hash cracking activity. Ravan now supports MD5,SHA1,SHA256,SHA512 hashes. How it works? Ravan has three components: Master: The hash, salt, hashing algorithm, position of the salt (before or after salt) and the charset are submitted by the user. These are submitted to the web backend and it returns a ‘hash id’ which is unique to every submitted hash. It also supplies a ‘worker url’ specific to this hash that must be sent t...
