## What it is
hate_crack is a Python tool by TrustedSec that automates password cracking methodologies on top of Hashcat, orchestrating wordlists, masks, rules, and companion tools like hashcat-utils, princeprocessor, and pcfg_cracker. It is installed from source (the PyPI name is a deliberate placeholder) and configured via config. plus a secrets-only .env file.

## Use cases
- automate hashcat password cracking runs
- crack dumped password hashes during a pentest
- run wordlist, mask, and rule-based cracking methodologies automatically
- integrate hash cracking with Hashview or Hashmob
- audit password strength of recovered hashes

## When to choose
- you already use hashcat and want automated, repeatable cracking workflows
- you need a scripted methodology combining wordlists, rules, masks, and PRINCE/PCFG attacks
- you want TrustedSec's battle-tested cracking automation on Linux or macOS

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI hash cracker
- you want a pip-installable package (it must be cloned from source)
- you need Windows-native support or a tool that bundles hashcat itself
