flcrack -d dict.txt -r myrules.txt secret.flac If you need to stop a long run and resume later:

flcrack -d biglist.txt -s secret.flac # … later … flcrack -R flcrack.session secret.flac The -R flag tells Flcrack to restore the saved session. | Limitation | Impact | |------------|--------| | Algorithm support | Only a handful of file‑type specific KDFs are implemented (e.g., FLAC, simple MD5). | | CPU‑only | No GPU acceleration; speed is bound by CPU cores and clock. | | Password length | Brute‑force becomes impractical beyond 8‑10 characters unless the charset is tiny. | | No distributed mode | Unlike Hashcat’s “cluster” mode, Flcrack cannot split work across multiple machines out‑of‑the‑box. | | Legal risk | The tool is powerful; misuse can lead to civil or criminal liability. | 7. Legal & Ethical Considerations | Scenario | Allowed? | Why? | |--------------|--------------|----------| | Auditing your own encrypted FLAC collection (you forgot the password) | ✅ | You own the data, so you have the right to recover it. | | Penetration testing for a client who explicitly authorized you to test password strength | ✅ | Written consent (a “scope of work”) legitimizes the activity. | | Cracking a friend’s FLAC file without permission | ❌ | Even if benign, it violates privacy and may breach copyright law. | | Mass‑downloading and cracking a public archive of FLAC files to distribute passwords | ❌ | Likely infringe on copyright and violate Terms of Service. | flcrack
