Plenty of valid reasons to recover lost things and not just 'lost things'.

The reason is, that using hashcat is not complicated for people who have linux experience and the amount of people wanting to crack a password is probably not that high.

Otherwise you do find plenty of people on YT walking you through hashcat. The first YT Video alone has 7 Million views: "how to HACK a password // password cracking with Kali Linux and HashCat"

I wish him luck, great drive to do this, i hope it works out well enough, books are just in general not easy to sell.

I don't think so. Every lastpass vault is encrypted by the users password.

Wikipedia states that there were some field unencrypted, sure, but not the critical data.

More people probably lost crypto by forgetting their passwords like a friend of mine. 10k gone

Because of a Hashcat tutorial book and video?

Even Claude will help you setup hashcat and co without complaining?
