Cracking 1Password password hashes

For new structures, we have to get creative. Thankfully, GitHub user LaurenceGA developed a tool called 1PasswordWindowsCrack to extract the appropriate hash elements from a modern 1Password vault in Windows and perform cracking against that. Unfortunately, this approach will not be able to take advantage of GPU-based acceleration from tools such as hashcat, but it will allow us to crack vaults we may know the passwords (or possible passwords) for and access those vaults.

LaurenceGA’s code is located at https://github.com/LaurenceGA/1PasswordWindowsCrack and will have some prerequisites to install and use the tool, which are defined in the README file. In short, you will need to install Python3 and the C++ compilation tools, and then clone and install the code from LaurenceGA’s repo. Once that’s done, proceed with the installation of the required Python modules by using pip install -r requirements.txt. Once complete, you will...
