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.

Being hopeful is punk rock as fuck.
Mood for today...

I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

I see you, Ontario plates "SUDO MV", I see you.

The control of the computer is getting shifted from you, who bought the computer, to the seller of the computer.

This should not happen.
