How to Decrypt an HC File: A Complete Technical Guide

2. Use HyperCube (Most Common)

Step 1: Download HyperCube from its official source (if still available) or use an open-source alternative like hc-tools.

Step 2: Open a terminal/command prompt and run:

hypercube decrypt input.hc output.decrypted

or with a keyfile:

hypercube decrypt --keyfile mykey.key input.hc output.data

Step 3: Enter the password when prompted. If correct, the decrypted file (or folder) will be created.

3. Alternative Method – Brute-Force (Last Resort)

If you’ve lost the password, you can attempt recovery using John the Ripper or hashcat: how to decrypt hc file

Note: This only works for weak passwords and may take a long time.

Step 3: View Cracked Results

hashcat -m 1000 myfile.hc --show

Output:

Empty means no password.

For a non-empty hash:

Part 4: Using John the Ripper for HC Files

John the Ripper can directly read some HC formats. Convert if needed:

# For NTLM, you can use:
john --format=nt --wordlist=rockyou.txt myfile.hc
