## What it is
GoCrack is a management frontend and API server for coordinating password cracking tasks, currently supporting hashcat 6.x+ as a cracking engine. It is written in Go and lets teams distribute and track cracking jobs across workers.

## Use cases
- manage hashcat password cracking tasks from a web UI
- distribute cracking jobs across multiple workers
- track status of password cracking tasks via an API
- self-host a frontend for hashcat
- coordinate team-based password recovery jobs

## When to choose
- you run hashcat and need multi-user, multi-worker task management
- you want an API-driven frontend for cracking jobs
- you need a self-hosted cracking management platform

## When to avoid
- you only need to run hashcat locally for a one-off crack
- you use cracking engines other than hashcat
- you need a fully GUI desktop cracking tool like Hashcat's own interfaces
