I'd like to report a bug. I ran your software and received a match almost instantaneously. It did not appear to be cycling through anything at all. Please advise.
I built a brute-force hash cracking program at a place I used to work that opened up an offline file from the client, took some configuration options and then worked through all the possibilities.
It was more of a "I wonder if I could" moment to see what would happen and how long it would take rather than needing to do it for work.
It was pretty fast but looked really boring so I included an option to have the hashes and guesses flash up on the screen to make it look like the films.
Looked much nicer but slowed the whole thing way down.
Edit: I know there are lots of ways to speed it up, like separating threads and only showing nth guesses. I could have even updated it for parallel computing but there was no point as it was made as a testbed and replaced with an alternate method a couple of days later. Thank you for taking an interest though and providing ideas on how to improve the concept.

While you're at it, can you pop up a window and have it scroll through a few thousand lines of random code?
