## Features
- **42 hash types**: raw MD5/SHA-1/SHA-256/SHA-512, NTLM, bcrypt, md5crypt, sha256crypt, sha512crypt, phpass, KeePass, 7-Zip, RAR5, PBKDF2, HMAC variants, and more
- **GPU-accelerated**: 24 types with Vulkan compute shaders (wgpu) — auto-detects your GPU
- **CPU-only**: 17 types fall back to CPU wordlist mode — no kernel driver needed
- **Auto-detect**: hash type detected from format prefix (`$1$`, `$6$`, `$keepass$`, etc.) or hex length
- **Multi-target**: crack multiple hashes in a single GPU dispatch
- **Attack modes**: brute-force, mask, wordlist, hybrid (word+mask), PRINCE, Markov, single-crack
- **Rules**: hashcat-compatible `.rule` files with stacked rules support
- **Session save/resume**: interrupt and resume cracking with `--session`
- **Potfile**: automatic cracked-password database at `~/.hashcracker/potfile`
- **Extraction**: built-in `--extract pdf` / `--extract zip` to produce native hashes
- **Output**: human-readable colored terminal + machine-readable JSON (`--json`)
- **Portable**: single compiled binary, Vulkan/Metal/DX12 via wgpu — no CUDA/OpenCL driver install

## Why hashcracker?
**hashcat** is the gold standard — 320+ types, hand-tuned kernels, decades of optimization.
hashcracker doesn't compete on speed or hash count.
It wins on:
- **Portability**: one binary, Vulkan/Metal/DX12, no driver install
- **Memory safety**: Rust — the class of CVEs that hit hashcat (3 CVSS 9.8 in 2025-2026) can't exist
- **CI-ready**: JSON output, session save/resume, consistent exit codes
- **Extraction built in**: `--extract pdf` / `--extract zip` instead of `keepass2john || pdf2john || zip2john`
- **Zero setup**: `cargo install hashcracker` and it works
