As stated on the Hashcat-homepage, simply follow the downloadlink to the latest (or older) versions. If you want the latest beta-build, go here https://hashcat.net/beta/

As stated in the FAQ (https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=sta...n_the_wild), there are some blogs and video's that could be usefull to start with. Check them out! Also, a simple search on YouTube, like "hashcat tutorial" will show you plenty of usefull video's.

You'll need a computer with (preferrably) a GPU and the correct drivers installed in order to play around. If your Mac has a GPU, then yes, it would be better than the laptop without GPU.

Finally, if you decide to work with TextEdit on macOS, you should go to settings and change the format to "plain text" instead of "rich text". (The first result on Google after searching for "TextEdit save txt" would have shown you this)
Pro tip: try to use the command line (terminal) and become a real ninja !

Got it, thank you! Now hopefully I can eventually figure out how to crack hash for a zip file and rar file I don't have passwords to. Why does it sound like it has something to do with drugs? LOL
