From d1b499dd0a32ce1e3a2e3b64073824a4137f7cc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Bollinger Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 14:57:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(fingerprint): skip hashcat when expanded wordlist is empty When no hashes have been cracked yet, the fingerprint attack's expander pipeline produces an empty {hash}.expanded file. Previously the function would still launch a hashcat combinator session against two empty wordlists (and, when invoked via the menu, six more hashcat sessions from the secondary hybrid pass) - wasting cycles and creating confusing empty intermediate files. Add an early-exit guard after the expander pipeline: if .expanded is empty, print an informative skip message and break out of the loop before invoking hashcat or hcatHybrid. Mirrors the existing "if hcatNewPasswords > 0" guard pattern in hcatRecycle.

Changed to "7" (Exit), the documented exit option. 2. tests/test_fingerprint_expander_and_hybrid.py: the iter-based lineCount mock (iter([1,1,1])) raised StopIteration because _run_hcat_cmd now also calls lineCount once per invocation when notifications fire. Replaced with a constant `lambda _p: 1` so the test no longer couples to internal call counts. 3. tests/test_submodule_hashcat_utils.py: `git submodule update --init` exits 0 in git worktrees but does not populate submodule directories. The test failed environmentally for anyone running it from a worktree. After the init attempt, if the dir is still empty, pytest.skip with a clear message rather than fail - preserves the original intent for normal checkouts.
