vonjeek/THC is proud to release thc-orakelcrackert11g, the first publicly available full blown cracker for Oracle 11g. This tool can crack passwords which are stored using the latest SHA1 based password hashing algorithm. To speed up cracking, the tool exploits a weakness in the Oracle password storage strategy. Therfore, cracking - for most passwords - is still just as fast as it was before the introduction of Oralce 11g.

Dear visitors, dear fans and supporters of THC. As a consequence of the new German law on 'hacking tools', THC (The Hacker's Choice) decided to re-structure its team and split into a German and Freeworld division. German members will not continue to develop and distribute THC releases and papers, which might be illegal. To give the German members a place to express their opinion and post news, we initiated a German THC website.
