Spider v1.0.0 released.

Spider is not just another web crawler -- it is a purpose-built wordlist and ngram processor for hash cracking workflows.

URL Mode:
Point it at a URL and Spider crawls the target, extracts words, and generates frequency-sorted wordlists and/or ngrams.

But, Spider does not stop at web crawling...

File Mode:
Feed it local files and it brings the same word-processing engine to your own datasets, scraped content, notes, dumps, configs, or any other plaintext source you want to turn into a targeted wordlist or ngram set.

MD6 - The Failed SHA-3 Hash You Likely Never Heard Of

While MD6 never made it into NIST as SHA-3, it has recently made its way into a few hash cracking contests.

After a suggestion from Vavaldi from HashMob to add MD6 support to hashgen, I began working on a Pure Go MD6 port. Once that was complete, I added support for 5x common MD6 digest sizes to hashgen.

Released: hashgen v1.3.0

New in this version:

* HMAC modes
* PBKDF2 modes
* scrypt support
* additional BLAKE2 modes
* hashcat UTF-16LE modes
* optimized salt RNG on salted hashes
* 95+ supported hash modes

CsP’s @Waffle_Real just released a new tool called hashpipe, and it solves a problem many of us run into with large potfiles: messy, misidentified hash:password entries.

hashpipe automatically validates founds by recomputing them, identifying the correct algorithm, and outputting verified results in an mdxfind format.

If you maintain large cracking datasets or potfiles, this is a great way to verify and clean them up.

Happy New Year!

Hashpwn wrapped up our first full year in 2025 and had a lot of fun along the way.

A big thank you to everyone who has been part of the community, and to our staff who helped turn an idea into a reality.

Here's to 2026!
