Troll a password cracker in 280 characters (stolen from my own Twitter):

"I want to dehash my ex-girlfriend's Facebook. I'm using a John the Ripper rainbow table with the --force option on Kali in a VM, running on repurposed Bitcoin ASICs. I think it's 30 characters long and random. Shouldn't it be finished by now? Can you give me your wordlists?"

@tychotithonus “dehash”. I’ve heard that before 😬

Avoid "dehashing", "reversing", and "decrypting" when talking about password hashes (SHA1, MD5, SHA256, bcrypt, etc.)

You cannot dehash, reverse, or decrypt password hashes. These words confuse a key concept of how password attacks work. Use 'cracking' instead. This is why.
