Hashes from clear passwords

[wallacebw]

You could do every hash / type that Hashcat has in Python. The question is just: Why?

Yes, I 'could' recreate all the hash logic, but existing libraries have limited algorithm support.  

As to why:
  -- rapid audit of client environments during red-teaming, meeting the requirements not to reveal clear-text credentials (yes, you could do a A=B and B=C so A=C exercise, but this meets most requirements) 
  -- simplified data integration into products with specific hashing requirements
  -- etc.
