Hashcat vs. Stellar Repair Tools

Any time you want to perform offline password cracking exercises, Hashcat is going to be able to do that for you. I can't think of any scenario where you have a password hash you need to crack where another tool would be more suited to the task. Hashcat, of course, works best when you have a GPU available, but you can even use it on a VM if you use the --force flag.

It's not, because the software doesnt work. So i suppose its not well suited for any situation and scenarios where it would be less appropriate would be everywhere since the software doesnt work.
