YellowKey: BitLocker Bypass or Backdoor

YellowKey, tracked as CVE-2026-45585, is a public BitLocker bypass that abuses WinRE/recovery-path behavior to expose a protected volume without the Windows password, recovery key, or AES cracking.

At the time of this post, the author’s GitHub and original YellowKey repo appear to be down.

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.

All that is needed is local shell access and a few lines of python.

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.

hashgen v1.3.1 - MD6 support

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
