TODO: write some introduction text to Hashtopussy here Use the first big section on the old manual for this. (Or even better, write it on the README to describe Hashtopussy to people who visit the repository)
If you want to migrate/update from an old Hashtopus/Hashtopussy installation, see here: Migration
In this manual and in the Hashtopussy itself, I use several terms. So let's make them clear:
- Agent: A computer running Hashtopussy.exe and Hashcat doing the cracking itself.
- Hashlist: A list of hashes saved in the database. Hashlist can be TEXT, HCCAP or BINARY with most hashlists being the first category.
- Task: A specific attack. Every task has a command line defining how will Hashcat be executed. Files can be assigned to a task (wordlists, rules,...).
- Key space: Every task has a predefined key space which says precisely how big set of keys will be searched.
- Chunk: A chunk is a part of a key-space assigned to a specific agent. If a chunk times out, it (or its part) will be reassigned to next free agent.
