About:
HashPump is a command-line tool that exploits the hash length extension vulnerability in certain cryptographic hash functions like MD5 and SHA-1. It allows an attacker to append arbitrary data to an existing message and generate a valid hash without knowing the original secret key. This makes it a critical tool for security researchers and penetration testers to assess the integrity of authentication mechanisms.
Key Features:
  • Exploits hash length extension attacks on MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Generates both the new data payload and the corresponding valid hash
  • Useful for testing and demonstrating cryptographic vulnerabilities
  • Open-source and widely used in security research
Use Cases:
  • Penetration testing and security assessment of web applications and APIs
  • Educational demonstrations of cryptographic hash vulnerabilities for students and researchers
  • CTF (Capture The Flag) challenges and security competitions
Alternatives:
  • hash_extender – Another popular open-source tool for hash length extension attacks, often considered alongside HashPump.
