• Add multi threading support
• Create a class structure (turn it into a class or use functions)
• for loop through a wordlist is slow. STEGCRACKER follows this same principle. It's very, very slow and if the password is at the back, it won't work for hours and hours and hours. Here's a better methodology:

Checking for passwords

1. Multi threadding
   Have one start at the back, and one start at the front. Have them both go through the list at the same time, and meet in the middle.
2. Random sampling
   Randomly select chunks of passwords from the list, and assign them to a worker (multi threaded). Make sure to not include those chunks in future workers. This has the benefit that if the password is in the middle, you stand a higher chance of getting it.

I think Rockyou is sorted by frequency (?) so maybe (1) is better.

• use the GPU for hash cracking (difficult but makes it fast)
• Refactor the code (similar to class) so you minimise the amount of code needed.

imo, most of the code should be on on multi threading / grabbing passwords / speed from the dict. If you do these 3 things really, really well then you can still have a very impressive tool while having a small selection of hash crackers. 😄

Overall, really good project. And I love where this is going 😄

Edit: It may be worth it to automatically detect hashes too, instead of passing a type to them. You can do this by checking their length, for example. As all hashes follow strict length guidelines.
