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.

Since Wordpress v6.8, the default hash func produces a custom bcrypt hash: $wp$2y$10$...

More info on this custom algo, how it uses hmac-sha384, and how to crack them with hashcat.

As a fun experiment, I rewrote hashgen v1.2.0-dev in everyone's favorite memory safe, systems programming language, Rust.

Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Yes.

Benchmarks show Rust is fast, but so is optimized Go.
