Description: World's fastest and most advanced password recovery utility
Hashcat supports five unique modes of attack for over 300 highly-optimized
hashing algorithms. hashcat currently supports CPUs, GPUs, and other
hardware accelerators on Linux, and has facilities to help enable
distributed password cracking.

Hashcat offers multiple attack modes for obtaining effective and
complex coverage over a hash's keyspace. These modes are:
.
* Brute-Force attack
* Combinator attack
* Dictionary attack
* Fingerprint attack
* Hybrid attack
* Mask attack
* Permutation attack
* Rule-based attack
* Table-Lookup attack
* Toggle-Case attack
* PRINCE attack
