Cryptography

Generating Hashes

MD5 hash

require 'digest'
puts Digest::MD5.hexdigest 'P@ssw0rd'

SHA1 hash

require 'digest'
puts Digest::SHA1.hexdigest 'P@ssw0rd'

SHA2 hash

In SHA2 you have 2 ways to do it.

Way #1: By creating a new SHA2 hash object with a given bit length.

require 'digest'

# 1
sha2_256 = Digest::SHA2.new(bitlen = 256) # bitlen could be 256, 384, 512
sha2_256.hexdigest 'P@ssw0rd'

# 2
Digest::SHA2.new(bitlen = 256).hexdigest 'P@ssw0rd'

Way #2: By Using the class directly

require 'digest'
puts Digest::SHA256.hexdigest 'P@ssw0rd'
puts Digest::SHA384.hexdigest 'P@ssw0rd'
puts Digest::SHA512.hexdigest 'P@ssw0rd'

Bonus: Generate Linux-like Shadow password

require 'digest/sha2'
password = 'P@ssw0rd'
salt = rand(36**8).to_s(36)
shadow_hash = password.crypt("$6$" + salt)

Windows LM Password hash

require 'openssl'

def split7(str)
  str.scan(/.{1,7}/)
end

def gen_keys(str)
  split7(str).map do |str7| 

    bits = split7(str7.unpack("B*")[0]).inject('') do |ret, tkn| 
      ret += tkn + (tkn.gsub('1', '').size % 2).to_s 
    end

    [bits].pack("B*")
  end
end

def apply_des(plain, keys)
  dec = OpenSSL::Cipher::DES.new
  keys.map {|k|
    dec.key = k
    dec.encrypt.update(plain)
  }
end

LM_MAGIC = "KGS!@\#$%"
def lm_hash(password)
  keys = gen_keys password.upcase.ljust(14, "\0")
  apply_des(LM_MAGIC, keys).join
end

puts lm_hash "P@ssw0rd"

Windows NTLMv1 Password hash

require 'openssl'
ntlmv1 = OpenSSL::Digest::MD4.hexdigest "P@ssw0rd".encode('UTF-16LE')
puts ntlmv1

Windows NTLMv2 Password hash

require 'openssl'
ntlmv1 = OpenSSL::Digest::MD4.hexdigest "P@ssw0rd".encode('UTF-16LE')
userdomain = "administrator".encode('UTF-16LE')
ntlmv2 = OpenSSL::HMAC.digest(OpenSSL::Digest::MD5.new, ntlmv1, userdomain)
puts ntlmv2

MySQL Password hash

puts "*" + Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(Digest::SHA1.digest('P@ssw0rd')).upcase

PostgreSQL Password hash

PostgreSQL hashes combined password and username then adds md5 in front of the hash

require 'digest/md5'
puts 'md5' + Digest::MD5.hexdigest('P@ssw0rd' + 'admin')

Symmetric Encryptions

To list all supported algorithms

require 'openssl'
puts OpenSSL::Cipher.ciphers

To unserdatand the cipher naming (eg. AES-128-CBC), it devided to 3 parts seperated by hyphen <Name>-<Key_length>-<Mode>

Symmetric encrption algorithms modes need 3 import data in order to work

Key (password)
Initial Vector (iv)
Data to encrypt (plain text)

AES encryption

Encrypt

require "openssl"

data = 'Rubyfu Secret Mission: Go Hack The World!'

# Setup the cipher
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::AES.new('256-CBC')    # Or use: OpenSSL::Cipher.new('AES-256-CBC')
cipher.encrypt                                  # Initializes the Cipher for encryption. (Must be called before key, iv, random_key, random_iv)
key = cipher.random_key                         # If hard coded key, it must be 265-bits length
iv = cipher.random_iv                           # Generate iv
encrypted = cipher.update(data) + cipher.final  # Finalize the encryption

Dencrypt

decipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::AES.new('256-CBC')  # Or use: OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new('AES-256-CBC')
decipher.decrypt                                # Initializes the Cipher for dencryption. (Must be called before key, iv, random_key, random_iv)
decipher.key = key                              # Or generate secure random key: cipher.random_key
decipher.iv = iv                                # Generate iv
plain = decipher.update(encrypted) + decipher.final  # Finalize the dencryption

Caesar cipher

Caesar cipher is one of the oldest known encryption methods. It is very simple - it is just shifting an alphabet. Transformation is termed ROTN, where N is shift value and ROT is from "ROTATE" because this is a cyclic shift.

In Ruby, array rotation is mutter of using rotate() method. So all what we need is to have array of all alphabets rotate it and map it with the original given string.

#!/usb/bin/env ruby
#
# Caesar cipher
#

def caesar_cipher(string, shift=1)
  lowercase, uppercase = ('a'..'z').to_a, ('A'..'Z').to_a
  lower = lowercase.zip(lowercase.rotate(shift)).to_h
  upper = uppercase.zip(uppercase.rotate(shift)).to_h

  # One-liner: encrypter = ([*('a'..'z')].zip([*('a'..'z')].rotate(shift)) + [*('A'..'Z')].zip([*('A'..'Z')].rotate(shift))).to_h
  encrypter = lower.merge(upper)
  string.chars.map{|c| encrypter.fetch(c, c)}
end

string = ARGV[0]
1.upto(30) do |r|
  puts "ROT#{r}) " + caesar_cipher(string, r).join
end
