This is for cracking password _hashes_. Most websites won't store a user's plain-text password but will only store the hash of it. Then a hack/exploit might later reveal the website's password hashes. This program helps you turn the hash back into the original password. Assuming you have a hash already, you own the hash, so it's not possible for anyone to impose a rate limit on how quickly you can attempt to break it.
