HashPump – Tool To Exploit Hash Length Extension Attack In Various Hashing Algorithms

HashPump is a tool to exploit the hash length extension attack in various hashing algorithms. Currently supported algorithms: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512.

Menu

$ hashpump -h
HashPump [-h help] [-t test] [-s signature] [-d data] [-a additional] [-k keylength]
    HashPump generates strings to exploit signatures vulnerable to the Hash Length Extension Attack.
    -h --help          Display this message.
    -t --test          Run tests to verify each algorithm is operating properly.
    -s --signature     The signature from known message.
    -d --data          The data from the known message.
    -a --additional    The information you would like to add to the known message.
    -k --keylength     The length in bytes of the key being used to sign the original message with.
    Version 1.2.0 with CRC32, MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 support.

Sample Output

$ hashpump -s '6d5f807e23db210bc254a28be2d6759a0f5f5d99' --data 'count=10&lat=37.351&user_id=1&long=-119.827&waffle=eggo' -a '&waffle=liege' -k 14

HashPump Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/bwall/HashPump.git
$ apt-get install g++ libssl-dev
$ cd HashPump
$ make
$ make install

apt-get and make install require root privileges to run correctly. The actual requirement is for -lcrypto, so depending on your operating system, your dependencies may vary.

On OS X HashPump can also be installed using Homebrew:

$ brew install hashpump

Python Bindings

Fellow Python lovers will be pleased with this addition. Saving me from writing an implementation of all these hash algorithms with the ability to modify states in Python, Python bindings have been added in the form of hashpumpy.

Installation

These Python bindings are available on PyPI and can be installed via pip. pip install hashpumpy

Usage

>>> import hashpumpy
>>> help(hashpumpy.hashpump)
Help on built-in function hashpump in module hashpumpy:

hashpump(...)
    hashpump(hexdigest, original_data, data_to_add, key_length) -> (digest, message)

    Arguments:
        hexdigest(str):      Hex-encoded result of hashing key + original_data.
        original_data(str):  Known data used to get the hash result hexdigest.
        data_to_add(str):    Data to append
        key_length(int):     Length of unknown data prepended to the hash

    Returns:
        A tuple containing the new hex digest and the new message.
>>> hashpumpy.hashpump('ffffffff', 'original_data', 'data_to_add', len('KEYKEYKEY'))
('e3c4a05f', 'original_datadata_to_add')

Python 3 note

hashpumpy supports Python 3. Different from the Python 2 version, the second value (the new message) in the returned tuple from hashpumpy.hashpump is a bytes-like object instead of a string.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS "Resolute Raccoon" was released on April 23, 2026 with Linux kernel 7.0, GNOME desktop, and standard security support until April 2031. A clean install gives you a known-good starting point on new hardware, when replacing another operating system, or when an upgrade path is not practical.

Change Timezone on Ubuntu: timedatectl and Desktop GUI Guide

The correct timezone affects more than the clock on your screen. It drives cron job scheduling, systemd timer execution, log file timestamps, database record timing, and SSL certificate validity checks. A mismatched timezone can cause scheduled jobs to fire at the wrong hour and make log timestamps impossible to match with real-world events. This guide shows how to change timezone on Ubuntu using the timedatectl command (the recommended approach for servers and remote machines) and through the graphical Date & Time settings on desktop systems. The steps apply to all current Ubuntu releases including 24.04 and 26.04. <strong>Prerequisite:</strong>&nbsp;Only&nbsp;the&nbsp;root&nbsp;user&nbsp;or&nbsp;a&nbsp;user&nbsp;with&nbsp;sudo&nbsp;access&nbsp;can&nbsp;change&nbsp;the&nbsp;system&nbsp;timezone.
