š Introduction
hibp2sqlite is a terminal application to create a HaveIBeenPwned SQLite Database from a NTLM-hash text file.
This project is developed with Qt 6.9.3.
To obtain the NTLM-hash text file, use PwnedPasswordsDownloader from HaveIBeenPwned.
Install PwnedPasswordsDownloader by following the instructions described on the link above.
Then, download all NTLM hashes to a single txt file called pwnedpasswords_ntlm.txt
haveibeenpwned-downloader.exe -n pwnedpasswords_ntlmAfter downloading pwnedpasswords_ntlm.txt, run hibp2sqlite. (See Usage ā¹ļø)
Make sure there is enough free space on your drive since this file is at the time of writing ~70 GB. The conversion to SQLite with hibp2sqlite takes another ~180 GB for the SQLite database file. Please note that the conversion process takes a couple of hours, so grab a cup of coffee ā
If you are looking for a GUI application to start this console application and query the SQLite database, check out: HaveIBeenPwned-Local.
Credits to the author of this article since it gave me the idea to create this tool.
