In this post, I am going to talk about a tool I came across while trying to crack a pre-MySQL 4.1 password hash. As my goto hash cracker did not support this type of depreciated hash, I had to look for other methods of doing this and I came across the MySQL323 password cracker/collider located here
I found this tool to be just what I was looking for so I downloaded it and ran it. It is very easy to use and the flags for the command are very straight forward.
"mysql323 32.exe" [number of threads] [hash] [keyspace-file]
Once the program finished it gave me these statistics
Total time: 455.626 seconds (7.5 mins)
Average speed: 10.96 Tp/s
Very fast! And yes, the tp/s does stand for trillion passwords per second. The machine I ran this on has an i7 processor with 8 gigs of memory.
This will definitely be my new goto tool for these specific types of MySQL hashes.
I just recently finished a beta of a bruteforcer for mysql323 with OpenCL support. Might be something you'd like to try out if you ever need to crack such an old hash again.

Awesome, thanks for the link!
