A long time ago, I created a database to hold passwords and their respective hashes for some 16 various hash types.  It has approximately 310,261,848 passwords for each type and is growing nearly every day as more password lists become available.  I found a pretty quick way to generate the hashes for these wordlists and wanted to share how it is done.  These hashes only work with unsalted/unpeppered passwords.

First, lets look at my table schema, which is very simple and very effective.  It uses an index on the hash + password column so there can not be any two hashes+passwords that are the same.  The types table is a  simple lookup table that references data.type 1 to a name like DES.  The primary key is on the name column.  I don’t claim to be a db administrator so if you spot any errors, let me know.

bbswitch is not compatible with the kernel included with kali linux.  The easiest fix is simply to upgrade to kernel 3.8.5 from debian experimental to fix this issue:

Basically I downloaded these packages manually:

initramfs-tools_0.110_all.deb
linux-headers-3.8-trunk-all-amd64_3.8.5-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
linux-headers-3.8-trunk-amd64_3.8.5-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
linux-headers-3.8-trunk-common_3.8.5-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
linux-headers-3.8-trunk-common-rt_3.8.5-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
linux-headers-3.8-trunk-rt-amd64_3.8.5-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
linux-image-3.8-trunk-amd64_3.8.5-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
linux-kbuild-3.8_3.8.2-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb

Then installed them:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Rebooted and all was well.
