Can shannon entropy be used to optimize password carcking?
#1
I am pretty sure 99% of passwords are not random so I'd imagine if hashcat had a mode in which it would not wast time on hashing random passwords cracking speed would increase.

Or perhaps an AI could be developed which would be trained on existing wordlists and by prioritizing more likely password candidates over random passwords make brute forcing much more efficient.
