Wrote up a new blog entry on improving the OMEN password cracking algorithm. The changes have also been included in the new version of the PCFG password cracking toolset. Link: reusablesec.blogspot.com/2025/08/omen-i…
Tired of your password rules being half-baked? The CsP kitchen’s been cooking up something better. RuleChef serves Markov-seasoned rules that actually make sense. No more recipe-for-disaster rule sets. github.com/Cynosureprime/…

Congratulations to team @hashcat for taking first place in @CrackMeIfYouCan this year. It was a tough battle at the end, well deserved! Always a fun contest. Thank you for your hard work organizing every year @CrackMeIfYouCan !

Congratulations team @hashcat !! 😄 And great job to @CynoPrime and the others who competed!
@CrackMeIfYouCan Are you a password Yoda now? Crack me you, I can.
CFP for #PasswordsCon in Bergen, May 15-16 & 18 is now online: passwordscon.org/cfp/ Please RT!
Our write-up to this year's @CrackMeIfYouCan is now available at blog.cynosureprime.com/2022/08/korelo… @hashcat @john_users
Pro results are official: hashcat 1st, Cynosure Prime close 2nd, HashMob.net Users - Pro close 3rd. There's a slight undercount for some Street hashes, where 1-4 place are all very close, so might make a difference, stay tuned.
Team hashcat has won the @CrackMeIfYouCan contest at #DEFCON30! It was extremely close at the end, everyone put up a great fight. Congrats to @CynoPrime for 2nd place and to HashMob for 3rd place. Thanks to KoreLogic and @PasswordVillage for organizing this year's contest.

#crackthecon Team Hashmob has done a fantastic job with their write-up for the 2022 crackthecon password cracking competition. The write-up can be found here: hashmob.net/writeups/HashM…
Thank you @winxp5421 for this uniquely awesome bit of history, and of course @Goetzman @tymkrs & everyone who helped make @CypherCon 5 SP3 happen
@TychoTithonus You guys were perfectly fine. We did have a team continuously resubmit old hashes. About 50 million hashes or about 50% of all submissions to the system.
#crackthecon Teams, monitor your founds and uploads on the log page. There is no benefit in finding "new" founds and submit them, if your team has already found and submitted them a long time ago.
