Hashes from clear passwords

[cyclone]

Haven't had a chance to read through your code yet, but I did something similar in python. (multithreaded, supports $hex[], STDIN or file input, STDOUT or file output, etc.)

I benchmarked your python hash_generator.py on my test rig (Ryzen 7 3700X). Great performance with python btw at 3.28m md5 / sec. For comparison, hashgen (written in Go) is just shy of an order of magnitude faster at 30.22m md5 / sec.

Here's a few benchmarks of hashing rockyou to md5:

1. hashgen (go)
   • Time: 0.498s
     
   • h/s: 30,228,048
     
2. hash_generator (python)
   • Time: 4.369s
     
   • h/s: 3,282,771
     
3. mdxfind
   • Time: 13.046s
     
   • h/s: 1,153,857
     
4. hashcat test.pl
   • Time: 23.086s
     
   • h/s: 653,840
     
5. ULM
   • Time: 129s
     
   • h/s: 116,694
