hacking: security in practice
I became a Chief Information Security Officer without having a college degree. Ask me anything!

EDIT: Thanks for everyone who participated and/or reached out on LinkedIn, I appreciate the opportunity and hopefully you folks got something helpful out of it. Anyway, prolonged social interaction even through a screen makes me nervous as shit so I'm out of here for now. You can find me shitposting on LI if you want to catch up there. Stay Dangerous!

My name is Jonathan Rau and despite not having a college degree or certifications I became a CISO with only 5 years of private sector cybersecurity experience largely spearheaded by open-source work and challenging industry norms. Ask me anything about getting into the (cloud security) industry, how to demonstrate your expertise, and on the other side of the equation: how to attract + retain entry-level talent and build world class teams with them.

Psudohash - Password List Generator That Focuses On Keywords Mutated By Commonly Used Password Creation Patterns

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBvbKgBVYgLcvHX5xAs4947PD5DsLaR_53o4PhyAINSqxoARl20tL3Pr_iTvjflpvvEIK61S-OVEpcNZ_TykfuiM-JAnY1eM2R8tenfsVwSDHp2VrAvtu-_jewWh7eI-Nei9b2tUmjzh6TJc9y_0p3epToJ9rZlm5FCDPsJMzNrb7oimaH2vyoPy-QDw=w640-h414 psudohash is a password list generator for orchestrating brute force attacks. It imitates certain password creation patterns commonly used by humans, like substituting a word's letters with symbols or numbers, using char-case variations, adding a common padding before or after the word and more. It is keyword-based and highly customizable. Pentesting Corporate EnvironmentsSystem administrators and other employees often use a mutated version of the Company's name to set passwords (e.g. Am@z0n_2022). This is commonly the case for network devices (Wi-Fi access points, switches, routers, etc), application or even domain accounts. With the most basic options, psudohash can generate a wordlist with all possible mutations of one or multiple keywords, based on common character substitution patterns (customizable), case variations, strings commonly used as padding and more. Take a look at the following example: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBvbKgBVYgLcvHX5xAs4947PD5DsLaR_53o4PhyAINSqxoARl20tL3Pr_iTvjflpvvEIK61S-OVEpcNZ_TykfuiM-JAnY1eM2R8tenfsVwSDHp2VrAvtu-_jewWh7eI-Nei9b2tUmjzh6TJc9y_0p3epToJ9rZlm5FCDPsJMzNrb7oimaH2vyoPy-QDw=w640-h414 The script includes a basic character substitution schema. You can add/modify character substitution patterns by editing the source and following the data structure logic presented below (default): transformations = [
{'a' : '@'},
{'b' : '8'},
{'e' : '3'},
{'g' : ['9', '6']},
{'i' : ['1', '!']},
{'o' : '0'},
{'s' : ['$', '5']},
{'t' : '7'}
] IndividualsWhen it comes to people, i think we all have (more or less) set passwords using a mutation of one or more words that mean something to us e.g., our name or wife/kid/pet/band names, sticking the year we were born at the end or maybe a super secure padding like "!@#". Well, guess what? https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiA97heH7brWCOpppmU1LOpPvfWXJWFx3A_SKOcuK_zYDxRygbrrX1E618dhONMj5obS3UmSizRoHc3eSrLjrotzrBelcx0yFd7AqCNnWqljZLocuJqakhv9PxSlJ-7uB1MQS11YhwueGsPCZSznhzZZkhgPfffeAxM-OhtHE2u-auBsc9mH6HDo5H5iQ=w640-h610 InstallationNo special requirements. Just clone the repo and make the script executable: git clone https://github.com/t3l3machus/psudohash
cd ./psudohash
chmod +x psudohash.py Usage./psudohash.py [-h] -w WORDS [-an LEVEL] [-nl LIMIT] [-y YEARS] [-ap VALUES] [-cpb] [-cpa] [-cpo] [-o FILENAME] [-q] The help dialog [ -h, --help ] includes usage details and examples. Usage Tips1. Combining options --yearsand --append-numberingwith a --numbering-limit≥ last two digits of any year input, will most likely produce duplicate words because of the mutation patterns implemented by the tool.
2. If you add custom padding values and/or modify the predefined common padding values in the source code, in combination with multiple optional parameters, there is a small chance of duplicate words occurring. psudohash includes word filtering controls but for speed's sake, those are limited. FutureI'm gathering information regarding commonly used password creation patterns to enhance the tool's capabilities. Download Psudohash
