ProtectEU threatens End-to-End-Encryption across VPNs, messaging apps, and secure email services.

This is part of a growing global trend where governments push for backdoors under the guise of national security. While aimed at combating crime, these proposals risk eroding digital privacy, weakening cybersecurity, and potentially driving privacy-focused services out of EU jurisdictions altogether.

hashgen v1.1.2 update

In the spirit of keeping hashgen blazingly fast, I published an optimized Base58 package:
pkg.go.dev/github.com/cyclone-

Switching to cyclone/base58 boosted hashgen's Base58 encode/decode performance by 500%.

Key features:

Familiar API, modeled after Go’s stdlib encoding/base64

Pure Go, no external deps

Fast, byte-slice optimized encoding/decoding

After seeing yescrypt hashes appear in CMIYC a while back, I started developing a yescrypt cracker in pure Go. Since then, yescrypt has become the default /etc/shadow hash for many popular linux distros such as Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, Fedora, and Arch (to name a few), but hash cracking support for this algo has been limited to JtR -- until now.

Here's a sneak peek of the yescrypt_cracker POC:
