Colabcat
Run Hashcat on Google Colab with session restore capabilities with Google Drive.
Usage
- Go to the link below to open a copy of the
colabcat.ipynb
file in Google Colab: https://colab.research.google.com/github/someshkar/colabcat/blob/master/colabcat.ipynb - Click on
Runtime
,Change runtime type
, and setHardware accelerator
to GPU. - Go to your Google Drive and create a directory called
dothashcat
, with ahashes
subdirectory where you can store hashes. - Come back to Google Colab, click on
Runtime
and thenRun all
. - When it asks for a Google Drive token, go to the link it provides and authenticate with your Google Account to get the token.
- You can edit the last few cells in the notebook to customize the wordlists it downloads and the type of hash it cracks. A full list of these can be found here.
- If needed, simply type
!bash
in a new cell to get access to an interactive shell on the Google Colab instance.
How it works
Colabcat creates a symbolic link between the dothashcat
folder in your Google Drive and the /root/.hashcat
folder on the Google Colab session.
This enables seamless session restore even if your Google Colab gets disconnected or you hit the time limit for a single session, by syncing the .restore
, .log
and the .potfile
files across Google Colab sessions by storing them in your Google Drive.
