A polarizing name, if perhaps less so amongst programmers

  The name perfectly described its behavior, and I didn't even think about other meanings. huh.

  yeah, i was going to call it `hashcat` -- maybe i should do that. or `pipehash`.

      all the good names are taken. i guess it's time we give up on not clashing.

    I wager more programmers would object to hashcat than hashpipe; cat is for concatenating! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_%28Unix%29#Useless_use_of_cat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_%28Unix%29#Useless_use_of_c... ;)

  This is a fantastic name. It says exactly what it does and has an excellent Weezer song to back it up
