CMIYC 2022 Hashsets and Bundles

All of the hash sets this year (except yescrypt) were cheap, fast, unsalted (or fixed-salt) hash types; the primary challenge wasn't cracking the password hashes, it was cracking the encrypted containers bundling them up in order to get to the hashes.

If you've ever been on a pentest and harvested dozens of PASSWORDS.XLS and AccountInfo.zip off of users desktops, you know the value of cracking a variety of encrypted artifacts in a hurry.

Various encrypted container file types were used, each containing hashes using a different weak cipher, of plaintexts that used one or more unique combination of source material (wordlist) and mutation rule(s).
