Alternative PBKDF1-SHA1 plugin - penguinkeeper - 07-16-2025
Hello! For this pull request, adding PBKDF1-SHA1, there are 2 ways to tackle it. The faster but less stable way (exec inside), or the slower but more stable way (exec outside). In this case, I developed both but the slower but more stable way ended up being the one chosen by Atom to use in public Hashcat. To avoid developing that second plugin being a waste of time, it's being posted here so hopefully it can help someone in the future get a few more percent performance
Performance increases are not guaranteed, especially for very weak hardware and support for this plugin is *not* official, please don't make a github issue if you have issues and instead just comment here.
