Believe it or not I'm pentesting your stuff
I never thought I could feel so free-hee-hee
I compromised one of your Domain Admins
Who it could be? The guy with "Password123"
In today's episode we're talking all about building your own password-cracking rig! "Wait a minute!" you say. "Are you abandoning the Paperspace password cracking in the cloud thing?" Nope! I'm just bringing that methodology "in house" for a little better opsec and also because last year on Paperspace I spent thousands of dollars.
First things first - here's the hardware I ended up with:
- Inland Premium 512GB SSD 3D NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive
- [Intel Core i5-9400F Desktop Processor 6 Core up to 4.1GHz Without Processor Graphics LGA1151 (Intel 300 Series chipset)](https://www.microcenter.com/product/602028/intel-core-i5-9400f-desktop-processor-6-core-up-to-41ghz-without-processor-graphics-lga1151-(intel-300-series-chipset)
- ASUS ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming LGA 1151 ATX Intel Motherboard
- EVGA SuperNOVA 1200P2 1200 Watt 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply
