How to use M1 Max / M1 Ultra machine to crack password using brute force

M1 Max and M1 Ultra has lots of GPU power for cracking password. For brute force attach we can use hashcat and John the Ripper.

(1) Installation

(1.1) Install XCode and Command Line Utilities from Apple
(1.2) Install Homebrew
(1.3) Install John the Ripper and add path by using Terminal command
brew install john-jumbo
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/john-jumbo/1.9.0/share/john/:$PATH

(1.4) Install rar and. unrar for testing (as the HomeBrew version might not working.
cd $(HOME)/Downloads
wget https://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarmacos-arm-611.tar.gz
sudo cp rar/rar /usr/local/bin
sudo cp rar/unrar /usr/local/bin

(1.5)Install hashcat from git
cd $(HOME)/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat.git
cd hashcat
make

(2) Testing
# create a test.rar file with password of 1234 for testing
cd $(HOME)/Downloads
mkdir -p testhashcat
cd testhascat
echo 'I am testing' > test.txt
rar a -P1234 test.rar test.txt
Use John the Ripper to generate hash
% rar2john test.rar
test.rar:$rar5$16$852481e911dc38c66cec2fbe8e9a825b$15$e1c319e802eec30efab80c6bd7470468$8$f9c3bfde638768a5

And copy the hash value in blue color and it will be used again in hashcat

Use hashcat to brute force attack
../hashcat/hashcat -m 13000 -w 3 -a 3 \
'$rar5$16$852481e911dc38c66cec2fbe8e9a825b$15$e1c319e802eec30efab80c6bd7470468$8$f9c3bfde638768a5' \
--increment --increment-min 2 --increment-max 8 '?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d' --potfile-path=rarfile.pot  -o testrar.out.txt
Explanation of the parameters used in hashcat
-m 13000 means --hash-type RAR5 see here https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes
-a 3 means attack-mode Brute-force
-w 3 Workload Profiles High
--increment --increment-min 2 --increment-max 8
means increment the guess password with minimum of 2 and maximum of 8

?d means digit as below
Built-in charsets are
?l = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
?u = ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
?d = 0123456789
?h = 0123456789abcdef
?H = 0123456789ABCDEF
?s = «space»!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~
?a = ?l?u?d?s



If finished, the password will be in testrar.out.txt $rar5$16$852481e911dc38c66cec2fbe8e9a825b$15$e1c319e802eec30efab80c6bd7470468$8$f9c3bfde638768a5:1234

How to install Ubuntu on Intel Macbook Air/Pro with T2 Security Chip

Currently you cannot easily install Linux onto an Apple computer which uses the T2 security chip because the Linux Kernel with the T2 support is not included in any of the currently released distributions as a default kernel. And cannot use the built-in keyboard, trackpad, bluetooth and neither WiFi nor ethernet.

(1) There is a patched Ubuntu ISO for Macbook Air/Pro (2018-2020) with T2 Security Chip hardware here. https://github.com/marcosfad/mbp-ubuntu/releases

(2) This ISO image requires you to install on the internal SSD and if you are on the lastest macOS Monterey, the internal SSD would be encrypted. It is not recommended to dual booting Macbook with both macOS and Linux unless you have good backups and are prepared to perform a clean install or restore from backup since you will at some point most likely do something which will prevent either OS from booting and possibly risk losing access to all the data in one or both operating systems.

(3) So it is probably better to use USB to boot up for testing out Linux on Macbook first.
You can download this installed ISO images here (2.64GB) and burn it to an USB stick with 128GB using balenaEtcher for Mac. You don't need to unzip the downloaded zip file as balenaEtcher can read zip file and write to the USB stick directly. The image has an extra 10GB exFAT partition, so that data can be exchanged offline with PC or Mac.

(4) The Macbook should be Disable Secure Boot and Set allowed boot media based on the instructions here https://support.apple.com/HT208330

(5) Then plug in the USB and restart the Macbook and press option key while bootup, then select EFI boot to startup Ubuntu. The installed version of this Ubuntu image, username and password are all ubuntu

(6) This patched Ubuntu ISO should worked for the butterfly keyboard, function keys, touch pad, bluetooth, display and audio. But the microphone might not be working. If the wifi is not working initially, the fix is here using the Terminal (control-option-T) commands


Fix wifi issue of ubuntu-mbp image
sudo dpkg -i /usr/src/iso-firmware.deb
#edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf as below
sudo editor /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

NetworkManager.conf    Select all

#edit /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf and add # sign to stop iwd as below
sudo editor /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf

wifi_backend.conf    Select all
#[device] #wifi.backend=iwd


Then
# restart NetworkManager
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
sudo modprobe brcmfmac
Then reboot Ubuntu...

# sideload apk (x86_64 apk only)
waydroid app install myapplication.apk

Color correction of WayDroid
Go to Settings App -> Accessibility -> Color inversion (on)

If you want to install Ubuntu Mate Desktop, the terminal command is
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop

How to erase Mac SSD for downgrade macOS to older version

It used to be using created bootable USB stick in order to downgrade macOS to older version, as in here.

But with the new macOS Monterey and with the T2 Security Chip of modem Mac, your Macintosh SSD will be encrypted and for Intel Mac, the bootcamp partition will also encrypted.

As a result, you cannot install macOS from USB stick to the encrptyed SSD, even if you have enabled boot from media in the Startup Security Utility.

The downgrade path will now require you to erase all content and settings first.
If you haven't do so, you have to do Erase Mac as below before installing any macOS version.
In addition, if you want to downgrade macOS, you have to do

Step (1) Backup all your important data and be sure you have a good Internet connection for the remaining steps

Step (2) Erase Mac, reboot Mac and select Erase Mac from the menu. This will wipe and remove all the whole Macintosh SSD, including the encrypted Macintosh partition and bootcamp partition if any, you might need to authenticate by entering the admin password of your existing MacOS to do this. You can use Internet Recovery to the original macOS version (Option-Shift-Command-R), or else it will default to the latest macOS Monterey (Option-Command-R).

Step (3) Activate Mac, reboot Mac and enter Recovery by pressing Command-R and activate the Mac.

Step (4) Internet Recovery, reboot Mac and enter Recovery by pressing Command-R and use Internet Recovery to choose install original version of macOS.

Step (5) Enable boot from media, After successful installation of the old macOS version, create bootable USB stick of your required macOS version based on this guide from Apple. Reboot Mac and enable boot from media from in the Startup Security Utility.

Step (5) Install macOS from USB stick, reboot again and press Option to choose the USB stick to install from macOS.

(5) build the Dockfile
docker build -f Dockerfile -t arm64v8/android-sdk-vnc .


(6) Copy Mac host id_rsa.pub to authorized_keys and start the container
cp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys .
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys


# To start the container as daemon
docker run -d --name android-sdk-vnc -p 5901:5901 -p 2222:22 -p 5037:5037 \
-v $(pwd)/authorized_keys:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys arm64v8/android-sdk-vnc

# To connect the container via ssh
ssh root@<IP address of your Mac M1> -p 2222

# To stop the container
docker container stop android-sdk-vnc


(7) To connect to the vnc of the docker image after starting the container
Use the Mac Finder "Go" -> "Connect To Server" and enter "vnc://0.0.0.0:5901"
For other machines in the network enter "vnc://<IP address of your Mac M1>:5901"

The passwords are in the vncpass.sh when building which are
password="android"
password_view_only="docker"

(8) There is a common problem if you are connecting remotely using Mac Terminal, so the solution is to not forward your locale. Edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and comment out SendEnv LANG LC_* line.

(9) Testing swift
# attach to the running container
docker exec -it android-sdk-vnc bash
# test
mkdir -p ${HOME}/Projects
cd ${HOME}/Projects
git clone https://github.com/apple/example-package-dealer.git
cd example-package-dealer
swift run Dealer

systemctl disable rng-tools.service

(11) install utilities in raspberry os that can handle qcow2 disk image conversion and resize
apt install qemu-utils libguestfs-tools
hostname -I # get ip address

(13) Install Realvncserver and connect from Mac
passwd pi # set user pi password
# login as user pi
login pi
# Use raspi-config to enable SSH and VNC
sudo apt install realvnc-vnc-server
sudo raspi-config
# Choose 5 Interfacing Options -> P2 SSH
# Choose 5 Interfacing Options -> P3 VNC

# enter vnc key, can put this in /etc/rc.local without sudo
sudo vnclicense -add VKUPN-MTHHC-UDHGS-UWD76-6N36A

# setup vncpasswd for user mode, only user mode can run browser
vncpasswd -user

# edit config file to have these two lines for vnc password auth
echo -e "Authentication=VncAuth" | tee -a ~/.vnc/config.d/vncserver-x11
echo -e "Encryption=PreferOff" | tee -a ~/.vnc/config.d/vncserver-x11
cp ~/.vnc/config.d/vncserver-x11 ~/.vnc/config.d/Xvnc
# start service
vncserver

#put these in rc.local to automate after reboot, Raspberry Pi hardware has bundled vnclicense and no need to add it
/usr/bin/vnclicense -add VKUPN-MTHHC-UDHGS-UWD76-6N36A
sudo -H -u pi /usr/bin/vncserver

#check which port is listening
netstat -tlpn | grep -i listen

This would configure VNC in Virtual Mode
# Screen Sharing Connect from Mac
# In Finder, Go -> Connect to Server, enter IP address and port number of the vm e.g.
# Enter the vncpassword to connect, and connection needs port number
vnc://192.168.64.10:5901

For configuring VNC in Service Mode, please refer to https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/vnc/
For differences in these modes, please refer to https://help.realvnc.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002253238-Understanding-VNC-Server-Modes
#Start or stop the service with:
# systemctl (start|stop) vncserver-x11-serviced.service
#Mark or unmark the service to be started at boot time with:
# systemctl (enable|disable) vncserver-x11-serviced.service
#sudo systemctl start vncserver-x11-serviced.service
For Service Mode the connection from Mac is (no port number), vnc://192.168.64.10

If you need port forwarding on macOS, so that you can vnc connect from other machines on the LAN to this vm, see this article https://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/MacPortForwarding That is run
echo "
rdr pass on lo0 inet proto tcp from any to self port 5910 -> 192.168.64.10 port 5901
rdr pass on en0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 5910 -> 192.168.64.10 port 5901
rdr pass on wlan0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 5910 -> 192.168.64.10 port 5901
" | sudo pfctl -ef -
Then, test connect from other machines to :5901 on the LAN.

# To install Visual Studio Code
wget -O code_arm64.deb https://aka.ms/linux-arm64-deb && sudo dpkg -i code_arm64.deb && rm code_arm64.deb
sed 's/BIG-REQUESTS/_IG-REQUESTS/' /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1.1.0 | sudo tee /usr/share/code/libxcb.so.1 > /dev/null

Demo - VNC to rapberrypi desktop vm screen capture

P.S. Only vm can run realvncserver, docker environment can only run lightweight vncserver e.g. tightvncserver

(14) For qcow2 image, the conversion to raw image is
wget https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/buster/20201214-484/debian-10-generic-arm64-20201214-484.qcow2
qemu-img dd -f qcow2 -O raw bs=64k if=debian-10-generic-arm64-20201214-484.qcow2 of=debian-10.img
# scp debian-10.img to the Mac Mini host and prepare a new expanded debian-arm64.img similar to the raspberry-arm64.img as above
# After restarting vm and mounting images, the dd command to extract rootfs is

How to run docker on the new Mac Mini M1

(1) Reference to this article https://finestructure.co/blog/2020/11/27/running-docker-on-apple-silicon-m1

(2) The problem of this method of running Ubuntu iso live image is not persistent.

(3) So here is the improved method to add persistent storage to this vm.

(4) # First create an empty image data say 50G in Mac Mini
dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img bs=1m count=51200

(5) # Change the command to invoke the vm to include persistent and increase cpu to 2
./vftool -k vmlinuz -i initrd -c focal-desktop-arm64.iso -d data.img -p 2 -m 4096 -a "console=hvc0 persistent rw"
./vftool -k vmlinuz -i initrd -d data.img -c focal-desktop-arm64.iso -p 2 -m 4096 -a "console=hvc0 persistent rw"

P.S.
If you compile the latest vftool, which has added the ability to add more image files and the order of the mounted device will follow the parameters you passed in. The article was written using the first version of the vftool and will mount the data.img as the /dev/vda and the cdrom image as /dev/vdb. So if you use the latest version vftool compiled, you have to check the device name of your mounted data.img.

(6) # Attach the vm and create 3 partitions for the created image
sudo fdisk /dev/vda
# Press (n)(p)(1) to create new partition 1
# Press (enter) to accept starting sector and set size to say +25G
# Press (n)(p)(2) to create new partition 2
# Press (enter) to accept starting sector and set size to say +15G
# Press (n)(p)(3) to create new partition 3
# Accept the default options and starting block and ending block
# Press (w) to write to partition

(6) # Format partition as ext4 with labels casper-rw and home-rw in vm, this create the persistent medium for the rw partition.
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vda1 -L docker-data
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vda2 -L casper-rw
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vda3 -L home-rw

(7) # exit shell and exit vm by ctrl-c
exit

(8) # start vm again and use a new tab using screen command to attach to the vm e.g.
screen -S docker /dev/ttys003

(9) # Create folder to mount /dev/vda1
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/docker-data
# Add this mount commands in /etc/rc.local in order to persist as editing /etc/fstab is ignored in this iso image
cat << EOF | sudo tee -a /etc/rc.local 
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

mount /dev/vda1 -t ext4 /mnt/docker-data
exit 0

# enable rc.local see this.
sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local
sudo systemctl start rc-local.service

(10) Follow the reference article to install docker related packages.
If you have problem when installing docker. Try this = previous verion
apt install docker-ce=5:19.03.14~3-0~ubuntu-focal

(11) # Move docker data-root to the newly created partition
sudo service docker stop
cat << EOF | sudo tee -a /etc/docker/daemon.json

sudo rsync -aP /var/lib/docker/ /mnt/docker-data
sudo mv /var/lib/docker /var/lib/docker.old
sudo service docker start

(12) Additionally, install docker-compose
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt install -y python3-pip
sudo pip3 -v install docker-compose

(13) Test docker
docker run hello-world

docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpassword -e MYSQL_USER=wpuser -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=wpuserpassword -e MYSQL_DATABASE=wordpressdb --name wordpressdb -d arm64v8/mariadb

(17) Use another terminal session to connect e.g.
ssh-copy-id ubuntu@192.168.64.19
ssh ubuntu@192.168.64.19

(18) This iso image has desktop Applications, so it is possible to install vnc server and connect to it via Remote Desktop or vnc://localhost:590x. To install vnc server
sudo apt install -y tightvncserver
vncserver
# restart vncserver in vm
vncserver -localhost
# create ssh tunnel in Mac, where x is the desktop number when starting vncserver
ssh ubuntu@192.168.64.19 -L 590x:localhost:590x # Reference : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-20-04
https://cat.pdx.edu/platforms/mac/remote-access/vnc-to-linux/

P.S. follow up post for the docker M1 preview and building of docker image with vnc server.
https://iphonesdkdev.blogspot.com/2020/12/20201205.html



If you need port forwarding on macOS to connect to this vm service (e.g. ssh or vnc), see this article https://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/MacPortForwarding

How to run on Headless Mac Mini M1 with nohup and screen

(1) Need a HDMI dummy simulator attached to Mac Mini for full speed operation. Be sure to have HDMI 2.0 and 4K support and some dummy simulators have Pass-Through EDID Emulator (also with 4K support) so that you can attach 4K monitor or via screen sharing in HD when working on it with attached keyboard and mouse.

(2) Disable sleep mode and set never sleep for HD and monitor on System Preferences of Mac Mini.

(3) Enable Sharing and SSH login on Mac Mini.

(4) generate ssh key-pair on mac mini and your terminal or your phone. If using Android phone, recommend Termux app for remote shell access.
e.g. ssh-keygen -t rsa # generate key pair on Mac Mini and remote client

(5) copy the ssh key-pair to mac mini if using another terminal from mac.
e.g. ssh-copy-id user@x.x.x.x

(6) Login in Mac Mini via ssh remotely
e.g. ssh user@x.x.x.x

(7) # Apple Compressor command line batch submission example (no need for nohup)
/Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -batchname "My First Batch" \
-jobpath ~/Movies/MySource_x265.mp4 \
-settingpath /Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/Resources/Settings/ProRes/proRes422Name.compressorsetting \
-locationpath ~/Movies/MyOutput_ProRes422.mov

(8) # install youtube-dl, prerequisite: Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.2 for Python 3.8 to be installed
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
sudo curl -L https://github.com/l1ving/youtube-dl/releases/latest/download/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
youtube-dl --version
sudo youtube-dl -U # update youtube-dl
youtube-dl --version # check version after update
cd $HOME/Downloads
mkdir -p youtube
cd youtube
youtube-dl -f mp4 <youtube url>

(9) Either use nohup or screen command for persistent jobs.

# nohup example
nohup bash -c 'youtube-dl -f 401 https://youtu.be/8rPB4A3zDnQ' &> nohup.youtubedl.4k_2.out &

(10)screen example (suitable for command utility with tty input
# create a screen and run python script
screen -S tensorflow
conda activate python38
python cnn.py
# leave (detach) the screen by Control-A d

# create second screen and run handbrake conversion
screen -S handbrake
conda deactivate
$HOME/Downloads/HandBrakeCLI -i $HOME/Downloads/8KVIDEO120FPS-8rPB4A3zDnQ_4.1G.mp4 -o $HOME/Downloads/8KVIDEO_x265.mp4 -e x265 -q24
# leave (detach) the screen by Control-A d

# list all the screen ids
screen -ls

# Reattach to one of the screen e.g. 6473.tensorflow
screen -r 6473

# Exit Screen if the process terimated
exit

How to use SpriteKit in SwiftUI and preview SKScene in Xcode 12

This demo the code using Xcode 12.0.1 under macOSX 10.15.7 The iOS14 has a new SpriteView for the SKScene, this demo a player movement with on-screen joystick control. This file does not need the creation of sks file and using code to generate the SKNodes required. The graphics assets and touches codes are borrowed from this Elton Game - Introduction to Sprite Kit. https://designcode.io/spritekit-intro

Create this swift file for iOS14 and you can preview it in SwiftUI under Xcode 12

How to use SwiftUI previews for existing project and storyboard

Here is an example code to create a new swift file for an existing project and use the storyboard Main.storyboard and preview the MainViewController instance in the new iOS 13 SwiftUI framework under Xcode 11.

If you add TabbedView to NavigationView in this example, please use Xcode 11 Beta 2.

MainViewPreviews.swift    Select all
// MainViewPreviews.swift // FishTagCreator // // Created by javacom on 8 Jun 2019. // import SwiftUI #if DEBUG struct MainViewControllerPreviews : PreviewProvider, UIViewControllerRepresentable { // MARK: PreviewProvider static var previews: some View { MainViewControllerPreviews() } // MARK: UIViewControllerRepresentable typealias UIViewControllerType = MainViewController func makeUIViewController( context: Context ) -> MainViewController { let mainStoryboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil) let mainViewController: MainViewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "MainController") as! MainViewController return mainViewController } func updateUIViewController( _ uiViewController : MainViewController, context: Context) { } } #endif


It is important to assign a storyboard ID say "MainController" to your MainViewController in Main.storyboard's identity inspector.
