Description

I don't believe gocrack currently supports any other mode beyond dictionary-from-file-with-rules, and bruteforce-masks.

Would be nice to see: dictionary-with-multiple-rules, dictionary-from-stdin-with-multiple-rules, markov-bruteforce, combinator, hybrid.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the existing dictionary-from-file-with-rules and bruteforce-mask modes are represented and passed to hashcat. Then assess each requested mode—multiple rules, stdin, Markov, combinator, and hybrid—and define completion as each supported mode working through the same management flow.
