 ## Installation
+
+### 1. Install hashcat
 Get the latest hashcat binaries (https://hashcat.net/hashcat/)
 
-```
+```bash
 git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat.git
 cd hashcat/
 make
 make install
 ```
 
+### 2. Download hate_crack
+```bash
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/trustedsec/hate_crack.git
+cd hate_crack
+```
+
+* Customize binary and wordlist paths in "config.json"
+* The hashcat-utils repo is a submodule. If you didn't clone with --recurse-submodules then initialize with:
+
+```bash
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+```
+
+### 3. Install dependencies and hate_crack
+
+The easiest way is to use `make install` which auto-detects your OS and installs:
+- External dependencies (p7zip, transmission-cli)
+- Python tool via uv
+
+```bash
+make install
+```
+
+**Or install dependencies manually:**
+
 ### External Dependencies
 These are required for certain download/extraction flows:
 
 - `7z`/`7za` (p7zip) — used to extract `.7z` archives.
 - `transmission-cli` — used to download Weakpass torrents.

 Ubuntu/Kali:

 brew install p7zip transmission-cli

 You can run hate_crack as a tool, as a script, or via `uv run`:
 
-```
+```bash
 uv run hate_crack.py

 uv run hate_crack.py <hash_file> <hash_type> [options]

 ### Run as a script
 The script uses a `uv` shebang. Make it executable and run:

-The test suite uses mocked API responses and local fixtures so it can run without external services (Hashview, Hashmob, Weakpass). Most tests are fast and run entirely offline.

+By default, external service checks are skipped. Enable them explicitly:
+
+- `HASHMOB_TEST_REAL=1` — run live Hashmob tests (including connectivity and CLI menu flag)
+- `HASHVIEW_TEST_REAL=1` — run live Hashview CLI menu test
+- `WEAKPASS_TEST_REAL=1` — run live Weakpass CLI menu test
+- `HATE_CRACK_REQUIRE_DEPS=1` — fail if required system tools are missing
+- `HATE_CRACK_RUN_LIVE_TESTS=1` — run live Hashview upload tests (requires config.json credentials)
+- `HATE_CRACK_RUN_LIVE_HASHVIEW_TESTS=1` — run live Hashview wordlist upload tests
+- `HATE_CRACK_RUN_E2E=1` — run end-to-end local installation tests
+- `HATE_CRACK_RUN_DOCKER_TESTS=1` — run Docker-based end-to-end tests

+When `HASHMOB_TEST_REAL` is enabled, tests will still skip if Hashmob returns errors like HTTP 523 (origin unreachable).
