Menu-less launch options

[hackern0v1c3]

It would make it easier to use hate_crack with other scripts if there were options to run cracking without interacting with the main menu. An example would be

sudo python /opt/hatecrack/hate_crack.py ~/Documents/example_ntlm.txt 1000 1 0

Which would run quick cracking with 0 best64.rule. I'm not at all suggesting that you get rid of the main menu, just providing both launch options would be a really nice feature.

Keep up the fantastic work!

The quick crack with 0 has been fixed in the lastest version just pushed. I'll get the new feature request working shortly

Wow didn't expect such a quick reply. You guys are great.

Just adding a "me too" to this request as I have a situation where I'm doing some cracking on a box where I want to add --gpu-temp-disable and do a quick crack (or other jobs) and still use HateCrack, and not sure I can do it with the current menu configuration. Is there any "hack" I can do in the meantime to work around this?

(And sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, I can happily start a new one if need be. Don't punch me @hackern0v1c3 :-) )

@hackern0v1c3 might be a while before we can get this implemented, but @braimee good news you can already do what you need to do by editing the tuning field of the config.
From
"hcatTuning": "--force"
to
"hcatTuning": "--force --gpu-temp-disable"

Rockin'! Thanks @bandrel !

[bandrel]

After more thought on this we would be willing to include the options if someone wanted to do a PR for it.

Cough @hackern0v1c3 ;-)

[hackern0v1c3]

I just tossed a quick and dirty pull request at you. Let me know if the approach at least seems reasonable. I can expand on it if people find it valuable. Or feel free to tell me to take my newb python and beat it 👍

After discussing this with the team the whole purpose of hate_crack is to be menu driven so we're not going to be moving forward with any additional command line arguments other than what is currently present.
