In the example above, the module was able to identify two valid user accounts (root and blank), retrieve the hmac-sha1 password hashes for these accounts, and automatically crack them using an internal wordlist. If a database is connected, Metasploit will automatically store the hashed and clear-text version of these credentials for future use. If a user's password is not found in the local dictionary of common passwords, an external password cracking program can be employed to quickly brute force possible options. The example below demonstrates how to write out John the Ripper and Hashcat compatible files.
Thanks to atom, the main developer of Hashcat, version 0.46 or above now supports cracking RAKP hashes. It is worth noting that atom added support for RAKP within 2 hours of receiving the feature request! In the example below, we use hashcat with RAKP mode (7300) to brute force all four-character passwords within a few seconds.

The oomycete Phytophthora infestans is the cause of late blight in potato and tomato. It is a devastating pathogen and there is an urgent need to design alternative strategies to control the disease. To find novel potential drug targets, we used Lifeact-eGFP expressing P. infestans for high resolution live cell imaging of the actin cytoskeleton in various developmental stages. Previously, we identified actin plaques as structures that are unique for oomycetes. Here we describe two additional novel actin configurations; one associated with plug deposition in germ tubes and the other with appressoria, infection structures formed prior to host cell penetration. Plugs are composed of cell wall material that is deposited in hyphae emerging from cysts to seal off the cytoplasm-depleted base after cytoplasm retraction towards the growing tip. Preceding plug formation there was a typical local actin accumulation and during plug deposition actin remained associated with the leading edge. In appressoria, formed either on an artificial surface or upon contact with plant cells, we observed a novel aster-like actin configuration that was localized at the contact point with the surface. Our findings strongly suggest a role for the actin cytoskeleton in plug formation and plant cell penetration.
Plugs in germ tubes emerging from P. infestans cysts contain cellulose and callose. Plugs (arrowheads) are visualized by staining with calcofluor white (a, b, e) and aniline blue (c, d, f) that reveal cellulose and callose, respectively. The plugs indicated with the asterisk in a and c are shown in more detail in e and f, respectively. In e the arrow indicates the middle lamellae of the plug, which is not stained by calcofluor white. The arrow in f indicates the protruding side of the plug pointing toward the tip. The images represent single confocal planes (a, c, e, f) or Z-projections (b, d). On the right are the bright field images and on the left the fluorescent channel images. Bars 10 μm
When a cyst germinates and encounters a plant surface, the tip of the germ tube swells to form an appressorium [4]. Appressorium formation can also be induced on artificial surfaces in the absence of the plant (in vitro) for example on polypropylene foil or in Petri dishes [9, 37]. We found that also glass coverslips are suitable as artificial surface for appressorium formation. This enables high resolution imaging of any actin configuration present in the appressoria. First we focused on the early stages of appressorium formation, and more specifically when the expanding hyphae grew against the coverslip. In these hyphae, we consistently (n = 15) observed an aster-like actin cable configuration while contact with the coverslip was established (Fig. 5). As clearly shown in a side view (Fig. 5c), this burst of F-actin is visible at the point where the hypha touches the coverslip. The fluorescence intensity of the aster-like structures is relatively high and at the contact point it is in the same range as the fluorescence of actin filament plaques (Fig. 5d). When followed over time, we observed centrifugally propagating waves of higher intensity of Lifeact-eGFP fluorescence that originated from the center of the aster-like structure (Video S3). We have observed similar propagating waves of fluorescence in the tip of growing hyphae that we interpreted as waves of polymerization [21]. Upon contact with the coverslip, the tips of the hyphae swelled slightly, although the swelling in young appressoria was less prominent than in fully grown appressoria (Fig. 6). In fully grown appressoria the aster-like structure disappeared and the actin organization resembled that of non-growing hyphae, consisting of actin filament cables and actin plaques that were evenly distributed along the cell cortex [21]. In addition, as in non-growing hyphae, a nucleus frequently resided in the vicinity of the hyphal tip (n = 10). Rotation of 3D projections of the Z-stacks (Fig. 6c) revealed that all of fully grown appressoria were in direct contact with the coverslip, confirming that physical contact is required for appressorium formation. When we monitored the appressoria over time, we could indeed confirm that they had stopped growing (Video S4). Occasionally we observed a new outgrowth emerging from fully grown appressoria that had the actin organization of a regular growing hypha in which actin plaques were absent from the apex (Video S5).

Previously, we have presented live cell imaging of the actin cytoskeleton in in vitro grown hyphae of P. infestans and revealed that actin plaques represent novel oomycete-specific actin configurations [21]. Here we have focused on the actin cytoskeleton in P. infestans in processes related to plant infection, including germ tube growth from encysted zoospores, appressorium formation, and plant cell penetration, and identified additional novel actin configurations. We detected that actin filament accumulation correlates with cell wall plug formation in germ tubes, and aster-like actin configurations that mark the barrier that appressoria encounter when attempting to penetrate. This aster-like actin configuration is prominently visible during the establishment of contact between an appressorium and the coverslip surface, and a similar transient accumulation of F-actin is also observed during plant cell penetration.
When germlings face a physical barrier (in our experimental set-up a coverslip) we observed the assembly of actin that resulted in an aster-like structure at the point of contact. We hypothesize that the observed aster-like actin configuration in appressoria of P. infestans is induced by physical contact. Also during penetration of tomato MsK8 suspension cells we consistently observed a transient accumulation of F-actin that was reminiscent of the aster-like structures observed in appressoria at the contact point with the coverslip (Fig. 5). However, the prominence of the actin structures in the in vivo infection system, so during penetration of MsK8 cells (Fig. 7), was much lower in comparison to the actin asters in appressoria formed on glass. This reduced prominence might reflect a correlation between surface strength and the amount of actin that is recruited to breach the surface. In the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, a torodial actin filament network has a function in the assembly of a septin diffusion barrier. This barrier is essential for increasing the pressure in the appressorium to the level that is required for plant cell penetration [26]. Also in the maize pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola Lifeact-GFP accumulates in appressoria at the spot where the penetration peg will form [47]. Compared to fungal appressoria, P. infestans appressoria are understudied. It is not known to what extent pressure is important for penetration and how much pressure a P. infestans appressorium can handle. Moreover, P. infestans lacks genes encoding septins, the GTP-binding proteins that are conserved in many eukaryotes, and form protein complexes that are considered to be part of the cytoskeleton. So besides the shape also the envisioned composition of such a diffusion barrier, if it exists, will differ from the one present in M. oryzae. The location and organization of the aster-like actin configuration in P. infestans appressoria suggests that it may have a function in cargo transport rather than in assembling or supporting a diffusion barrier. This hypothetical function in cargo transport is supported by the fact that the center of the actin aster is the exact spot from where plant cell penetration is initiated. 2ff7e9595c
