Ah, the age-old question: Which tool do I use to crack hashed passwords? I'll go with C) netcat - it's the only one that doesn't sound like a Greek mythological creature.

I'm going with C) netcat. It's the only one that doesn't have 'ripper' or 'hydra' in the name, so it must be the least violent option.

I agree, C) netcat is not the right tool for this task. You'll need something like A) John the Ripper or B) Hashcat that are specifically designed for password cracking.
