Question

Suppose I wanted to have this script run through more than one shadow file, what would the code look like? So it would go through/open shadow one then shadow 2 etc....

I have 3 files total. Shadow1-3

import hashLib #Open the files in read mode shadowopen('shadow1', 'r') dictionary = openCdictionary.txt', 'r') #Loop through all lines in the shadow file for line in shadow: #Split username:MDShash the line using the ":" delimiter entry line . split(':' ,1) The first item in the list of split values is the username #We also strip the values of any invisible characters #in the beginning or end using the strip() function user entry[0].stripO) #The hash value is the next hash = entry[1] . strip #Reset the dictionary file cursor to the start of the file dictionary.seek(0,0) #For each line in the shadow file loop #through all lines in the dictionary for word in dictionary: #For each line in the shadow file loop through all lines in the #dictionary and salt values from 0x00 to 0xFF for i in range(256): salt = chr(i) password = Word. strip saltedpassword salt password We initialize the MD5 hashlib object in the loop so that #it reinitializes every time, clearing its contents x = hashlib.md50 #Compute the digest x.update(saltedpassword) #if the generated hash matches the shadow hash --> Success! if (x.hexdigest() == hash): print '::.format(user, i, password

Explanation / Answer

To rad multiple files for same code you need to apply following code ::::::::::::

#Array of file names that you want to read

shadow_files = ["File1", "File2", "File3"]

#Access each file in array one by one

for s_file in shadow_files:

   

                #Open one file at a time

shadow = open(s_file, 'r')

   

                #Paste your code here

                               

               

               

So, your code will look like ::::::::::            

import hashlib

shadow_files = ["Shadow1", "Shadow2", "Shadow3"]

for s_file in shadow_files:

print (s_file + '************************')

   

                #Open file in read mode

shadow = open(s_file, 'r')

dictionary = open('dictionary.txt', 'r')

               

                #Loop through all lines in the shadow file

for line in shadow:

       

                                #Split username:MD5hash the line using the ":" delimiter

                                entry = line.split(':',1)

                                #The first item in the list of split values is the username

                                #We also strip the values of any invisible characters

                                #in the beginning or end using the strip() function

                                user = entry[0].strip()

                                #The hash value is the next

                                hash = entry[1].strip()

                               

                                #Reset the dictionary file cursor to the start of the file

                                dictionary.seek(0, 0)

                               

                                #For each line in the shadow file loop

                                #through all lines in the dictionary

                                for word in dictionary:

                                                #For each line in the shadow file loop through all lines in the

                                                #dictionary and salt values from 0x00 to 0xFF

                                                for i in range(256):

                                                                salt = chr(i)

                                                               

                                                                password = word.strip()

                                                                saltedpassword = salt + password

                                                                #We initialize the MD5 hashlib object in the loop so that

                                                                #it reinitializes every time, clearing its contents

                                                                x = hashlib.md5()

                                                                #Compute the digest

                                                                x.update(saltedpassword)

                                                               

                                                                #if the generated hash matches the shadow hash --> Success!

                                                                if(x.hexdigest() == hash):

                                                                                print '{}:{}:{}'.format(user, i, password)
