Can shannon entropy be used to optimize password carcking?
#2
what attack type ?

hashcat has built-in support for markov chains see --help

it's probably not a good idea to have/generate password candidates that are gibberish ... and store large dictionaries that are just random data... so the "filtering" is actually often done way before the cracking starts (e.g. using leaked password lists etc)
