Hashcat – Fastest and Most Advanced Password Recovery Utility

hashcat is the world’s fastest and most advanced password recovery utility, supporting five unique modes of attack for over 200 highly-optimized hashing algorithms. hashcat currently supports CPUs, GPUs, and other hardware accelerators on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and has facilities to help enable distributed password cracking.

Features

• World’s fastest password cracker
• World’s first and only in-kernel rule engine
• Free
• Open-Source (MIT License)
• Multi-OS (Linux, Windows and macOS)
• Multi-Platform (CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA, etc., everything that comes with an OpenCL runtime)
• Multi-Hash (Cracking multiple hashes at the same time)
• Multi-Devices (Utilizing multiple devices in same system)
• Multi-Device-Types (Utilizing mixed device types in same system)
• Supports distributed cracking networks (using overlay)
• Supports interactive pause / resume
• Supports sessions
• Supports restore
• Supports reading password candidates from file and stdin
