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

Usage: hashcat [options]... hash|hashfile|hccapxfile [dictionary|mask|directory]...

Options Short / Long | Type | Description | Example ==============================+====+====================================================+===================== -m, --hash-type | Num | Hash-type, references below (otherwise autodetect) | -m 1000 -a, --attack-mode | Num | Attack-mode, see references below | -a 3 -V, --version | | Print version | -h, --help | | Print help. Use -hh to show all supported hash-modes | -h or -hh --quiet | | Suppress output | --hex-charset | | Assume charset is given in hex | --hex-salt | | Assume salt is given in hex | --hex-wordlist | | Assume words in wordlist are given in hex | --force | | Ignore warnings | --deprecated-check-disable | | Enable deprecated plugins | --status | | Enable automatic update of the status screen | --status-json | | Enable JSON format for status output | --status-timer | Num | Sets seconds between status screen updates to X | --status-timer=1 --stdin-timeout-abort | Num | Abort i

Use -hh to show all supported Hash Modes
