hashgen v1.1.2 update:

In the tradition of keeping hashgen blazingly fast, I published an optimized implementation of base58 to GitHub:
https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cyclone-github/base58

Switching hashgen's base58 encode/decode logic to cyclone/base58 gave a performance increase of 500%.

Key features of this base58 package:

• Backwards compatible with other base58 packages using a familiar API based on Go's stdlib encoding/base64
• Written in pure Go using stdlib with no external dependencies
• Fast, efficient byte-based encoding/decoding

New version of hashgen published.
https://github.com/cyclone-github/hashgen/releases/tag/v1.1.3

v1.1.3; 2025-06-30
added mode "hex" for $HEX[] formatted output
added alias "dehex" to "plaintext" mode
improved "plaintext/dehex" logic to decode both $HEX[] and raw base-16 input

v1.1.4; 2025-08-23
added modes: keccak-224, keccak-384, blake2b-256, blake2b-384, blake2b-512, blake2s-256
added benchmark flag, -b (to benchmark current mode, disables output)
compiled with Go v1.25.0 which gives a small performance boost to multiple algos
added notes concerning some NTLM hashes not being crackable with certain hash cracking tools due to encoding gremlins

As an experimental POC, I rewrote hashgen v1.2.0-dev in Rust. This is a major update to the previous hashgen (Rust) released in 2024 and includes most of the features in hashgen (Go) v1.2.0-dev. Consider this experimental and not for production.

[test123456]

When will the -m 22000 type be supported?

[cyclone]

@test123456 There are currently no plans for hashgen to support any WPA / wifi modes. What would your use case for -m 22000 be?
