HashCracker GUI is a lightweight, user-friendly application designed to efficiently crack password hashes using dictionary-based attacks. Built with Python and powered by CustomTkinter, the tool provides a modern graphical interface that simplifies hash-cracking tasks for ethical hacking, penetration testing, and educational purposes.
- Supports multiple hash algorithms (e.g., MD5, SHA1, SHA256, etc.).
- Drag-and-drop functionality for hash and wordlist files.
- Real-time process count and output updates.
- Configurable number of words per process for optimized performance.
- Cross-platform GUI with a modern design using CustomTkinter.
