Hashcat

Hashcat is a password-cracking tool used to recover passwords from hashes. It supports many different types of password hashes (like MD5, SHA-1, bcrypt) and can use a graphics card to crack passwords much faster. One can use different methods, like guessing common passwords (dictionary/wordlist attacks) or trying every possible combination of letters and numbers (brute-force attacks).
