🔧 Arguments

Flag	Description
--hashfile	File containing password hashes (1 per line)
--wordlist	Dictionary file to attempt cracking with
--hashalgo	One of: sha256, sha1, md5, or smart
--save	Optional. Saves output to results.csv

🧪 Sample Test

Create a wordlist.txt:

123456
password
admin
welcome
qwerty

And hashes.txt with mixed hashes:

5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8

Then run:

python main.py --hashfile hashes_custom.txt --wordlist wordlist.txt --hashalgo smart --save

✅ Output:

🔍 Cracking 3 hashes using SMART...

✅ Cracked Passwords:
<hash> → <plaintext>

💾 Results saved to results.csv
