The official announcement is on the Hashcat forums. This is amazing news, I can't wait to see what this brings. Among the things I can't wait for... OSX Support Huge improvements in several

I reinstalled Windows 10 the other day and realized that there were several settings I needed to tweek, so in the spirt of my Kali post, here's Windows 10 First Things. 1) Uninstall
