Move simple-term-menu from the [tui] optional extra into the main
dependencies list so arrow-key menu navigation works out of the box.
Users can still opt into the plain numbered menu with
HATE_CRACK_PLAIN_MENU=1.

Transmission's watch dir scanner runs every ~10s, so a 10s deadline
could expire before the first scan completes. 30s gives 2-3 scan
cycles of headroom.

Prevent implicit None return when no data row matches the expected
transmission-remote --info-files format. Also clarify README macOS
install note.

Delete wordlists/kill_transmission.sh (replaced by Python extraction).
Update Makefile, Dockerfile.test, lima config, README, TESTING.md, and
test_dependencies.py to reference transmission-daemon/transmission-remote
instead of transmission-cli.

Resolves merge conflict with origin/main (keys 19-22 from main kept,
wordlist tools submenu added at key 80).
Fixes test isolation bug in test_random_rules_attack.py where
load_cli_module() nuked hate_crack.attacks from sys.modules, breaking
__globals__ references in wordlist_tools_submenu for downstream tests.
Also corrects wrong menu key assertion (21 not 20) for generate_rules_crack.
Resolves merge conflict with origin/main (keys 19-21 used by ngram,
permute, random-rules). Combipow takes key 22.
- gzip support: decompress .gz wordlists to a temp file before passing
path to combipow.bin (which requires a filename argument)
- UI line-counting uses gzip.open for .gz files
- Update tests to reference key 22 instead of 21
Add menu option 21 (Combipow Passphrase Attack) using combipow.bin from
hashcat-utils. Generates all unique non-empty subset combinations from a
short wordlist and pipes them into hashcat stdin.
- hcatCombipow(hash_type, hash_file, wordlist, use_space_sep) in main.py
- combipow_crack handler in attacks.py validates file, enforces 63-line
limit, prompts for space separator, then delegates to hcatCombipow
- Wired into get_main_menu_items() and get_main_menu_options() in both
main.py and hate_crack.py
- 12 tests covering menu presence, handler delegation, line-count
enforcement, file validation, and subprocess flag construction
Extends the combinator submenu (option 6) with two new attacks using
hashcat-utils binaries that were already compiled but unused.
- hcatCombinator3: 3-way wordlist combination via combinator3.bin piped
to hashcat stdin
- hcatCombinatorX: 2-8 wordlist combination via combinatorX.bin with
optional --sepFill separator, piped to hashcat stdin
- combinator3_crack handler: prompts for 3 comma-separated wordlist paths
- combinatorX_crack handler: prompts for 2-8 paths plus optional separator
- combinator_submenu updated with options 5 and 6
Closes#84, closes#85
Adds Permutation Attack (menu option 19) that generates all character
permutations of each word in a targeted wordlist and pipes them to
hashcat via permute.bin from hashcat-utils.
- hcatPermute() in main.py: pipes permute.bin < wordlist | hashcat
- permute_crack() in attacks.py: prompts for single wordlist file with
factorial-growth warning, tab-autocomplete support
- Menu option 19 wired in both main.py and hate_crack.py
- hcatPermuteCount tracking alongside other count globals
- Tests: test_permute_attack.py (handler behavior) and
test_permute_wrapper.py (subprocess wiring)
- README: added entry in menu listing and attack descriptions
- Add hcatGenerateRules() in main.py: runs generate-rules.bin to
produce N random rules, writes them to a temp file, runs hashcat
with -r against a chosen wordlist, cleans up on exit
- Add generate_rules_crack() handler in attacks.py with count
prompt (default 65536), wordlist picker with tab-completion,
input validation, and abort on invalid input
- Add dispatcher generate_rules_crack() in main.py and key "20"
in both main.py and hate_crack.py get_main_menu_options()
- Add ("20", "Random Rules Attack") to get_main_menu_items()
- Add tests: test_random_rules_attack.py (menu presence, handler
wiring), test_random_rules_wrapper.py (subprocess behavior,
cleanup, count passing, count tracking)
- Add key "20" to MENU_OPTION_TEST_CASES in test_ui_menu_options.py
- Update README: add option 20 to menu listing, add attack
description, add version history entry
Adds Rule File Tools submenu (menu option 81) with three operations:
- Clean: removes invalid/duplicate rules via cleanup-rules.bin
- Optimize: consolidates redundant operations via rules_optimize.bin
- Clean and optimize: both in sequence with temp file handling
Wired through the standard three-layer pattern: main.py utility
functions + dispatcher, attacks.py handlers + submenu, root
hate_crack.py menu registration.
- 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 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

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.
