Hashcat does not attack online targets. You must already possess the hash.
you cant "crack" an emailpassword when you dont know the passwordhash
mostly passwordhashes are obtained from so called breaches, when some "hackers" are able to get access to lets say the database from any website/forum whatsoever
then they can see lets say username:passwordhash directly in the database and then they could be able to crack it
no database no passwordhash no cracking
when you try to login into a webseite, your given password is hashed inside your browser (mostly), send to the webseite and simple compared to the stored hash in the database, equal okay login sucsessful, but the website will never "tell" you the stored hash inside the database by default (thats the reason why you will need the hash from some breach)
