What's the best tool to crack an md5crypt hash? I am using hashcat now but it is painfully slow and john the ripper was seg-faulting on me (but I didn't try too hard to troubleshoot, it's probably user-error)
Are there any other tools that might be better that I just don't know about?

are you using the gpu accelerated version of hashcat ?
that's the best tool for this kind of work unless you have access to a distributed computing network in which case I recall there being a beowulf cluster version of jack the ripper floating around.

Give it back Jamal.
>>54375462
There are various databases of already cracked hashes so check there too

Yeah, aside from that perhaps try something slightly more sophisticated than a brute force, hashcat supports a number of pretty cool attacks.
what do you know about the preimage? to reduce the entropy/combinatorial space
