Manual

Terminology

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.
