To effectively utilize HashFailer with Hashcat and John the Ripper, it's essential to have appropriate wordlists for dictionary-based attacks. These wordlists contain potential passwords that will be employed in the cracking process. Here's how you can establish the necessary wordlists:
The default wordlist used is rockyou.txt, located in the directory provided below. If you're using Kali Linux, it's recommended to employ this wordlist. Make sure to unpack it from the tar archive.
dictionary = "/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt"
For Advanced Users: If you're an advanced user, you can navigate to the code section where the 'directory' variable is defined and modify it to point to your preferred directory and wordlist
