Challenger
==========
Challenger accellerates dictionary attacks on NETLMv1/MSCHAPv2 hashes by using
a partial-bruteforce/rainbow-tablea hybrid technique. Much like traditional
rainbow tables techniques, challenger has a tool (rtchallenge.py) to convert a
wordlist into a rainbow table. This is not normally possibe for
NETLMv1/MSCHAPv2 hashes, however, since they contain a unqiue challenge. Due to a
design flaw, we can quickly recover two bytes of the underlying NT hash and
use that as a crib to accellerate a rainbow-table style lookup against a pre-
processed dictionary. The end result is a speedup of about 65,000 times over a
plain dictionary attack in Python...not that I'm suggesting Python-based
dictionary attacks are exactly fast. If Challenger cannot find the relevant
password, it outputs a hash compatible with Moxie Marlinspike's
CloudCracker.com website which should always be able to recover the full NT
hash for you.
Setup
-----
Before running challenger, replace wordlist.txt with a larger word list and execute rtchallenge.py to build the tables.
Use
---
challenger.py <challenge> <NT or LM response hash>
challenger.py '<CloudCracker hash from chapcrack>'
challenger.py [-t | --test] (demo mode)
For rainbow table-like attacks, use rtchallenge.py to generate
the appropriate rainbow tables and store the rainbow directory
in the same directory as ./challenger.py.
Please ensure you use single quotes (') when passing a CloudCracker/Chapcrack hash to Challenger in a *nix system, otherwise the '$' get interpreted as signifying environment variables.
