Universal Hashcat Rules OpenCL Kernel

This is a universal OpenCL kernel that implements ALL 16,000+ Hashcat rules for GPU acceleration. It can be used independently of Hashcat in any OpenCL-compatible application.

🚀 Universal Compatibility:
  • • Works with ANY OpenCL-compatible GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel)
  • • Independent of Hashcat - can be integrated into any password tool
  • • Pure C99 OpenCL code with no external dependencies
  • • UTF-8 compatible - operates on byte level for maximum compatibility
  • • Thread-safe for parallel execution across multiple GPU cores

// hashcat_rules_kernel.cl - Complete Hashcat Rules Implementation for OpenCL
// ============================================================================
// 
// DESCRIPTION:
//   This kernel implements ALL Hashcat rule transformations (16,000+ rules)
//   including simple rules, substitution, insertion, deletion, case toggling,
//   leetspeak, memory operations, and logical conditionals.
//
//   The kernel is universal and can be used independently of any specific
//   password cracking tool. It accepts words and rules as input, applies
//   the transformations, and outputs the results.
//
//   Rules are categorized into groups as defined in Hashcat documentation:
//   - Simple rules: l, u, c, C, t, r, k, :, d, f
//   - Position-based: Tn, Dn, inX, onX, 'n, xn m
//   - Substitution: sXY, @X, pX, /X, !X
//   - Case manipulation: TN, Tn m, LN, RN
//   - String operations: ^X, $X, [N], ]N, {N, }N
//   - Memory operations: M, 4, 6, _
//   - Logical rules: ?nX, =nX, N, (N, )N
//   - Special operations: q, z, Z, E, eX, 3nX, vnX, Kn m, *n m, yN, YN
//
// USAGE:
//   1. Prepare input buffers:
//      - words[]: array of null-terminated strings
//      - rules[]: array of rule strings (null-terminated)
//      - rule_ids[]: corresponding rule IDs
//   
//   2. Call kernel:
//      apply_rule_kernel(words, rules, results, rule_ids, hits,
//                        num_words, num_rules, max_word_len, max_output_len);
//
//   3. Process results:
//      - results[] contains transformed words
//      - hits[] indicates successful transformations (1) or failures (0)
//
// COMPATIBILITY:
//   - Supports all rules from Hashcat's rule engine
//   - UTF-8 compatible (rules operate on byte level)
//   - Thread-safe for parallel execution

Universal Usage Examples

1. Python Integration (PyOpenCL)
import pyopencl as cl
import numpy as np

# Load kernel
with open('hashcat_rules_kernel.cl', 'r') as f:
    kernel_source = f.read()

# Create OpenCL context
ctx = cl.create_some_context()
queue = cl.CommandQueue(ctx)
program = cl.Program(ctx, kernel_source).build()

# Prepare data
words = ['password', 'hello', 'test123']
rules = ['l', 'u', 'c', '$!', '^1', 's0o']
results = np.zeros((len(words) * len(rules), 512), dtype=np.uint8)

# Call kernel
kernel = program.apply_rule_kernel
kernel(queue, (len(words) * len(rules),), None,
       words_buf, rules_buf, results_buf, ...)
2. C/C++ Integration
// Load and compile kernel
FILE *fp = fopen("hashcat_rules_kernel.cl", "r");
fread(kernel_source, 1, sizeof(kernel_source), fp);
fclose(fp);

cl_program program = clCreateProgramWithSource(context, 1, 
                        (const char **)&kernel_source, NULL, &ret);
clBuildProgram(program, 1, &device, NULL, NULL, NULL);

// Create kernel
cl_kernel kernel = clCreateKernel(program, "apply_rule_kernel", &ret);

// Set arguments and execute
clSetKernelArg(kernel, 0, sizeof(cl_mem), (void *)&words_buf);
clSetKernelArg(kernel, 1, sizeof(cl_mem), (void *)&rules_buf);
// ... set other arguments

clEnqueueNDRangeKernel(command_queue, kernel, 1, NULL, 
                       &global_work_size, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);
3. Hashcat-Compatible Rule Files
# This kernel supports ALL Hashcat .rule files
# Use with any existing Hashcat rule set:

# Example rule file (common.rule):
l
u
c
$1
$!
^@
sa@
s3e
o01
i4!

# The kernel processes these exactly as Hashcat would
