hashcat Crack & License Key
Generally speaking, password-based authentication systems do not store the actual passcode, but rather its hash. Since hash functions are one-way, it means that anyone attempting to crack a password will have a hard time getting it.
Hashcat is an advanced password recovery utility that supports hundreds of algorithms and several attack modes to help you retrieve a forgotten passcode.

The tool is portable and does not have an interface per se, but rather it is designed to work with commands. The utility supports 5 attack modes that tackle the operation differently. While the Straight and Association modes accept rules, the Combination, Brute-force and Hybrid (mask and dict) modes do not.
Considering the role of the tool and modus operandi, you will be happy to learn that it supports over 300 hash algorithms, including different versions of SHA, MD5, Kerberos and PKZIP.
On a side note, the application comes with vast documentation on how to use and provides details about the attack modes as well as the potential errors you might encounter. Consequently, if you do not know what to do next, do not hesitate to check out the forum or wiki for more information. In addition, you can use the -help command to find out more about the available parameters.
According to the developer, the tool can be quite fast in retrieving forgotten passcodes. However, you should bear in mind that the speed of the program is directly dependent on the configuration of your system.
Hashcat supports hardware acceleration on CPUs, GPUs and other devices to make things fast. Therefore, you need to make sure that you have OpenCL and CUDA runtime installed on your machine. If you have an AMD GPU, then you also need to have the AMD Radeon Adrenaline Edition installed.
