How can I match my passwords against Have I Been Pwned?












1















OK, so I've downloaded all the SHA-1 hashes from Have I Been Pwned, exported everything from my password manager, and processed that into a file with one password per line. How do I match these files effectively?

          Prerequisites





          • 7z, which should be in the "p7zip" package.


          • sha1sum and shred, which should be in the "coreutils" package.


          • grep from the "grep" package.


          Process





          1. Create a file with unique upper case password hashes, and a file with passwords and their corresponding hashes:



            sort -u passwords.txt | while read -r password
            
do
            
    hash="$(printf '%s' "$password" | 
            
        sha1sum | 
            
        cut -d' ' -f1 | 
            
        tr 'a-f' 'A-F')"
            
    printf '%sn' "$hash" >> hashes.txt
            
    printf '%st%sn' "$hash" "$password" >> passwords-with-hashes.txt
            
done



          2. Match your hashes to all the entries in the downloaded file:



            7z e -so pwned-passwords-sha1-ordered-by-hash-v*.7z | 
            
cut -c 1-40 | 
            
grep -Fxf hashes.txt | 
            
tee matches.txt


            Be patient - this took nearly 20 minutes on a desktop machine with an SSD!




          3. Show the passwords related to the matches:



            grep -Ff matches.txt passwords-with-hashes.txt | cut -f2



          4. Securely remove the files you've created:



            shred --remove hashes.txt matches.txt passwords.txt passwords-with-hashes.txt
