MD6 - The Failed SHA-3 Hash You Likely Never Heard Of
While MD6 never made it into NIST as SHA-3, it has recently made its way into a few hash cracking contests.
After a suggestion from Vavaldi from HashMob to add MD6 support to hashgen, I began working on a Pure Go MD6 port. Once that was complete, I added support for 5x common MD6 digest sizes to hashgen.

CsP’s @Waffle_Real just released a new tool called hashpipe, and it solves a problem many of us run into with large potfiles: messy, misidentified hash:password entries.
hashpipe automatically validates founds by recomputing them, identifying the correct algorithm, and outputting verified results in an mdxfind format.
If you maintain large cracking datasets or potfiles, this is a great way to verify and clean them up.

Crackmon, a crack rate monitor for hashcat, now supports mdxfind in PR11.
Example: stop current attack if <100 cracks / 5 minutes.
crackmon -t 5 -c 100 hashcat {hashcat args}
or
crackmon -t 5 -c 100 mdxfind {mdxfind args} -

Since Wordpress v6.8, the default hash func produces a custom bcrypt hash: $wp$2y$10$...
More info on this custom algo, how it uses hmac-sha384, and how to crack them with hashcat.

Did you know, John the Ripper can use hashcat rules?
Unlike hashcat’s simple -r flag, JtR requires some manual setup in a conf file. @freeroute posted a step-by-step guide explaining how to do this.

So atom, main developer of @hashcat, used the "rapid prototyping in Python" plugin of the new "assimilation bridge" in the new hashcat 7¹, with some success in our DEF CON password CTF win this past weekend (hosted by @jabbercracky).
Afterwards, atom realized it would make a good case study for how to use the new feature, so he wrote it up:
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-13346.html
If you do exploration of mystery hash types (either for CTFs, or in the real world) ... this approach should absolutely be in your toolbox.
¹Note that some work was done during the contest to make the Python bridge plugin better for these use cases; next minor release of 7 will have it, or grab hashcat.net/beta/ or the latest GitHub main branch.
