Thanks to @Stealthsploit for finding a few orphaned files that were throwing 403 errors.

• Issue: Some older, user-uploaded files (mainly pre-Feb 2025) were 403.
• Fixed: Orphaned files have been fixed.

A letter from the admin,

Now that we’re halfway through 2025, I want to reflect on what the hashpwn community has achieved thus far. We have grown to 200+ members, 600+ posts, and have shared and cracked hundreds of thousands of hashes, posted dozens of helpful tools, wordlists and hashcat rules, while also enjoying the camaraderie of puzzles and CTF. Thank you to all those who have participated.

As an admin and site owner of hashpwn, I take my responsibilities seriously: providing a fun, informative, and safe space for fellow hash-cracking enthusiasts -- while most importantly keeping the platform well-maintained and secure. Hashpwn is monitored 24×7, security patches applied daily, and new features staged and scheduled days in advance.

Since launching in October 2024, hashpwn has consistently maintained an uptime at or above the 99.9% monthly SLA offered by many leading providers such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. See the Uptime-Kuma screenshots below.

A big thank you to our fellow admins, @blandy and @Vavaldi, and moderators @freeroute, @tychotithonus, @Plum, RIP @flagg, and to YOU, our fellow hashpwn members.

Happy cracking.

For those familiar with hashes.com and its escrow system, hashpwn is excited to announce the launch of our Hashes.com Escrow Feed:

--> https://forum.hashpwn.net/topic/146 <--

Thread Purpose
This thread is an automated feed from @hashpwn-bot which monitors the public escrow websocket (info: https://hashes.com/en/docs). Whenever a new escrow job is found, the job info and hash list are posted here. This gives a historical archive of all escrow jobs and their hash list posted to escrow.

Disclaimer
Hashpwn is not affiliated with hashes.com. This thread exists solely for the convenience of the hash cracking community who want notifications and a historical archive of the escrow.

If you run into a blocked URL on the forum, it's due to a rogue bot reporting several forum URLs to CloudFlare. I've reported these false phishing warnings, and CloudFlare will be removing them shortly.

FYI
Update: The Matrix.org Foundation's Synapse homeserver is back online.
matrix.org synapse homeserver is offline which has taken all chat rooms hosted by them offline as well. Due to this outage, hashpwn Matrix chat rooms will be temporarily unavailable until matrix.org synapse homeserver is restored.

The Cloudflare phishing warning issue has been resolved.

Explanation of the recent Cloudflare phishing notifications:

• If you've run into a phishing warning while browsing hashpwn or trying to login, it's due to a troll who has been falsely reporting hashpwn URLs to Cloudflare as phishing. See screenshot below:

• Example report the troll is using to falsely report hashpwn URLs.

• Submitting false phishing reports is a serious matter and may constitute fraud, harassment, and abuse of service. This behavior has been reported to Cloudflare.

FYI
The hashpwn forum experienced a brief outage on 2025-10-07 14:39 UTC - 2025-10-07 15:56 UTC. The incident was caused by an unexpected host server reboot initiated by the datacenter without prior notice, which interrupted an automated database sync and left the forum database in a corrupt state.

To minimize downtime, the forum database was restored to a known working state from a recent backup. As a result, approx 12 hours of activity were lost which included several posts from @hashpwn-bot and users.

Thanks for your patience while this was sorted out.
