hashdog
hashdog is a lightweight, pure‑Python implementation of a hash‑cat clone.
It reads a wordlist, hashes each entry using the specified algorithm,
and stops as soon as a match with the target hash is found.
Installation
hashdog can be installed globally with pipx, ensuring it never
interferes with your other Python projects.
# Install pipx if you don't have it yet
python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath
# Install hashdog
pipx install hashdog
A normal pip install works as well:
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install hashdog
Usage
hashdog <TARGET_HASH> <DICTIONARY_FILE> [-m ALGORITHM]
TARGET_HASH– The hash value you want to crack (hexadecimal string).DICTIONARY_FILE– Path to the wordlist; one candidate password per line.-m ALGORITHM– Optional. Hash algorithm to use.
Defaults tomd5. Supported values:md5,sha1.
Example
# Crack an MD5 hash with a local wordlist
hashdog d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e ./rockyou.txt
