+Hashkill is an open-source password recovery tool.
+
+Features:
+
+- Multi-threaded so that it can benefit from multi-core/multi-CPU
+ systems
+- SSE2/AVX/XOP/AES-NI-accelerated routines to achieve high speeds on
+ modern x86 CPUs
+- Very powerful rule engine plus optimized bruteforce/markov codepaths
+ for fast algos.
+- More than 60 plugins for different types of passwords (ranging from
+ simple hashes like MD5 and SHA1 to WPA, passworded RAR files, MS
+ Office documents and TrueCrypt volumes)
+- Supports session save/restore. Sessions are auto-saved each 3
+ seconds. Password cracking can resume after the last checkpoint in
+ case the program is stopped/killed/system crashes/power down/etc.
+- Multi-hash support
+- Fast GPU support on both Nvidia and AMD. GCN and Kepler architecture
+ supported.
+- Multi-GPU support (even AMD+NVidia systems).
+- Session save/restore, markov/rule/bruteforce also on GPUs.
+
+Optional dependencies:
+
+For GPU support and kernel compilation:
+
+ - proprietary AMD/NVidia drivers
+ - opencl-headers
