I have many large wordlist files and want to create hash tables with them to speed up aircrack. I know very little about hash tables. From reading some forums and articles I gathered a hash table is a database. I know nothing of the database structure to create my own hash table from a wordlist.

I was planned on writing a script that simply takes a wordlist, hash each line, then gets stored into a database.

Sounds easy enough except I dont know which crypto method to use. I heard the were a few different kinds for creating hashes. Although I thought the crypt method was md5 only.

anyways any ideas on which cryptographic method to use and a database layout for a hash table (tables, columns, data types).

Thanks for the help.

  • A hash table is an implementation of a map; it maps keys to values. This question has a pretty good answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/730620/how-does-a-hash-table-work I'd also like to note that hash tables don't use cryptographic hash functions like MD5, because they are unnecessarily slow. – ntoskrnl Dec 26 '13 at 12:47
  • I see thanks for clarifying, I had a lot of misconceptions that were cleared up. – Brandon Nadeau Dec 26 '13 at 13:28
