- Update menu listing to show combinator submenu and new attacks (17, 18)
- Remove keys 10/11/12 from main menu (consolidated into submenu)
- Add detailed descriptions for Combinator Attacks submenu, Ad-hoc Mask Attack, and Markov Brute Force Attack
- Document Markov training source selection and table persistence
- Update version history with new feature details
Config and assets were not found when running hate_crack from outside the
repo directory. The shim uses `uv run --directory` to always execute from
the repo root, and _candidate_roots() now includes _repo_root and
_package_path as fallback search locations.
- Remove vendor-assets and clean-vendor Makefile targets
- Lima VM test and Dockerfile.test now use make install (editable)
- Remove hate_crack/hashcat-utils from submodules-pre expander generation
- Update README to reflect no-vendoring install
hashcat is now a system dependency (installed via apt/brew or PATH) rather
than a compiled submodule. The Lima VM provision script installs it via apt,
and local installs are expected to have hashcat available in PATH.
- Remove hashcat entry from .gitmodules
- Remove hashcat/ submodule checkout
- Remove hashcat submodule skip logic from Makefile submodules target
- Simplify submodules-pre hashcat check to PATH-only
- Update vendor-assets and clean targets to remove submodule references
- Update README: hashcat is now a required prerequisite, not optional
- Document Lima VM E2E prerequisites (lima, rsync) and list all packages
provisioned automatically by the test VM
Quality checks run locally via prek pre-push hooks. CI workflows
(ruff, ty, pytest, lint-infra, version-bump) are no longer needed.
Updated docs to remove all GitHub Actions references.
- Remove 6 duplicate per-version pytest workflows (matrix build covers all)
- Pin GitHub Actions to SHA hashes with version comments
- Add persist-credentials: false to checkout steps
- Replace mypy with ty for type checking (faster, stricter)
- Pin dev deps to exact versions (ty==0.0.17, ruff==0.15.1, pytest==9.0.2, pytest-cov==7.0.0)
- Remove types-* stub packages (ty doesn't need them)
- Remove stale [dependency-groups] section from pyproject.toml
- Update shell scripts to use set -euo pipefail
- Add prek.toml for git hook management (pre-push, post-commit)
- Add lint-infra.yml workflow (shellcheck + actionlint)
- Fix actionlint warning: pass github.head_ref through env var
- Track CLAUDE.md and .claude/ scripts in git
- Update README.md and Makefile references from mypy to ty

Add ability to fine-tune PassGPT models on custom password wordlists.
Models save locally to ~/.hate_crack/passgpt/ with no data uploaded to
HuggingFace (push_to_hub=False, HF_HUB_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1). The
PassGPT menu now shows available models (default + local fine-tuned)
and a training option. Adds datasets to [ml] deps and passgptTrainingList
config key.

- Add optional startup version check against GitHub releases (check_for_updates config option)
- Add packaging dependency for version comparison
- Fix PassGPT OOM on MPS by capping batch size to 64 and setting memory watermark limits
- Fix PassGPT output having spaces between every character
- Hide PassGPT menu item (17) unless torch/transformers are installed
- Fix mypy errors in passgpt_generate.py with type: ignore comments
- Update README with version check docs, optional ML deps section, and PassGPT CLI options
- Add test_version_check.py with 8 tests covering update check behavior

Add PassGPT as attack mode 17, using a GPT-2 model trained on leaked
password datasets to generate candidate passwords. The generator pipes
candidates to hashcat via stdin, matching the existing OMEN pipe pattern.
- Add standalone generator module (python -m hate_crack.passgpt_generate)
- Add [ml] optional dependency group (torch, transformers)
- Add config keys: passgptModel, passgptMaxCandidates, passgptBatchSize
- Wire up menu entries in main.py, attacks.py, and hate_crack.py
- Auto-detect GPU (CUDA/MPS) with CPU fallback
- Add unit tests for pipe construction, handler, and ML deps check

Update ollamaModel from qwen2.5 to mistral and ollamaNumCtx from
8192 to 2048 to reflect recent config changes.

Replace the denylist-oriented prompt with a capture-the-flag scenario
prompt that focuses on recovering passwords using industry terms and
company name permutations.

Add LLM Attack (option 15) to menu listing and attack descriptions,
document Ollama config keys, fix broken code block, update pre-push
hook example, add make update target, and correct CI Python versions.

hcatPath now exclusively points to the hashcat install directory and is
auto-discovered from PATH when not configured. hate_path is resolved
from the package directory (installed) or repo root (development) with
no auto-discovery. Extracted vendor-assets/clean-vendor Makefile targets
to deduplicate the install logic.

BREAKING CHANGE: Corrected understanding of hcatPath configuration
- hcatPath should point to hashcat binary location (or omit if in PATH)
- hashcat-utils and princeprocessor are located in hate_crack repo
- Changed code to use hate_path for utilities instead of hcatPath
- Updated error messages to guide users correctly
- Updated README with correct configuration examples
- Asset discovery now properly uses HATE_CRACK_HOME environment variable
This fixes the issue where users had hcatPath pointing to hashcat
installation but the code was looking there for hashcat-utils.
- Add directory existence check in ensure_binary() before attempting make
- Provide clear error message when build directory doesn't exist
- Add troubleshooting section to README.md explaining common hcatPath mistakes
- Add tests for invalid hcatPath scenario and installed tool execution
- Helps users distinguish between hashcat path and hate_crack path
Fixes issue where users set hcatPath to hashcat installation directory
instead of hate_crack repository directory, causing confusing errors.
