HOWTO : CUDA with Kali Linux 1.0.9

The guide has been updated on FEB 4, 2015 as Kali Linux 1.0.9a includes the nVidia driver 340.x and CUDA 5.5.x.



Hardware



CPU : Intel i7-3930K

RAM : 32GB DDR3

Hard Drive : 3TB

Display Card : Two nVidia GeForce GTX 590



Install Kali



Install Kali Linux 1.0.9 on the box as usual. Make sure "secure boot" is disabled in your BIOS before installing. After that, you update the Kali accordingly.



apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade



Install nVidia Driver



apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-xconfig



nvidia-xconfig



sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub

update-grub

reboot



Fix the nvidia_uvm error



After the reboot :



cd /usr/src/nvidia-current-331.67

make



cp Module.symvers uvm/

make -C uvm



cp uvm/nvidia-uvm.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms



Updated on Jan 8, 2015



Remark : If you use backports version, the nvidia_uvm problem is fixed and the cudaHashcat 1.31 can be running without any problem. The backports version of nVidia driver is 340.65 and the version of CUDA driver is 5.5.22 at this time of writing.



echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list



apt-get update



apt-get install -t wheezy-backports nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-driver nvidia-xconfig



If you have done the following steps, you are not required to re-do it again.



nvidia-xconfig



sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub

update-grub

reboot



Install cudaHashcat



mkdir hacking

cd hacking



wget http://hashcat.net/files/cudaHashcat-1.30.7z



7za x cudaHashcat-1.30.7z



wget http://hashcat.net/files-legacy/cudaHashcat-1.31.7z



7za x cudaHashcat-1.31.7z



(Please noted that the current version 1.32 does not compatible to nVidia driver 340.x).



Test the cudaHashcat



cd /root/hacking/cudaHashcat-1.30/

./cudaExample0.sh



cd /root/hacking/cudaHashcat-1.30/

./cudaExample400.sh



cd /root/hacking/cudaHashcat-1.30/

./cudaExample500.sh



Install John the Ripper



(Please note that the current version of john is john-1.80-jumbo-1.tar.gz)



apt-get install libssl-dev



cd hacking



wget http://www.openwall.com/john/g/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.gz

tar -xvzf john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.gz

cd john-1.7.9-jumbo-7/src



./configure

make

make clean linux-x86-64-cuda



** If your hashes or passwords are longer than 8 characters, you need to change the following before compiling the John.



cd john-1.7.9-jumbo-7/src

nano params.h



Then change from "8" to "18" or "20" and etc.



#define CHARSET_LENGTH 8



Test the John the Ripper



cd /root/hacking/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7/run



./john --device=0,1,2,3 --format=sha512crypt-cuda /etc/shadow



* since I have 4 GPUs, so the --device should be 4.



*** When you changed the CHARSET_LENGTH, you need to generate a new charset. Do it once only.



wget http://downloads.skullsecurity.org/passwords/rockyou.txt.bz2

bunzip2 -d rockyou.txt.bz2

cp rockyou.txt /root/hacking/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7/run



cd /root/hacking/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7/run



cat rockyou.txt | sed 's/^/:/' > rockyou.pot



mv all.chr all.chr-original

mv alnum.chr alnum.chr-original

mv alpha.chr alpha.chr-original

mv digits.chr digits.chr-original

mv lanman.chr lanman.chr-original



./john --pot=rockyou.pot --make-charset=all.chr

./john --pot=rockyou.pot --make-charset=alnum.chr --external=filter_alnum

./john --pot=rockyou.pot --make-charset=alpha.chr --external=filter_alpha

./john --pot=rockyou.pot --make-charset=digits.chr --external=filter_digits

./john --pot=rockyou.pot --make-charset=lanman.chr --external=filter_lanman



Then your cracking command will be :



./john --pot=rockyou.pot --device=0,1,2,3 --format=sha512crypt-cuda /etc/shadow



Install and Test Cryptohaze



cd hacking

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/cryptohaze/files/Cryptohaze-Linux_x64_1_31a.tar.bz2/download -O Cryptohaze-Linux_x64_1_31a.tar.bz2



tar xjvf Cryptohaze-Linux_x64_1_31a.tar.bz2



cd /root/hacking/Cryptohaze-Linux

./Cryptohaze-Multiforcer -h NTLM -c charsets/charsetall -f test_hashes/Hashes-NTLM-Full.txt



That's all! See you.
