Support for cracking of hashes (generically) like John the Ripper
Could Passware please incorporate generic hash cracking, such as that done by John the Ripper? This would add some much needed capacity to distribute such hashes across lots of machines (very helpful for those of us with Lab Edition). Currently I am cracking some hashes with JtR but since it is standalone and not distributed, it is nowhere near as efficient as it could be. Simply incorporating JtR into the Passware tool to allow agents to be brought in would be fantastic, and also add real flexibility to the tool

I would also be very happy to have this option. We often bruteforce older hash values obtained through third-party software. We usually use Hashcat on individual workstations for this purpose.
PKF runs on several powerful workstations in our agency. It would be very convenient to feed PKF a list of hashvalues and bruteforce them. In other words, a user-friendly Hashtopolis. -
