With the new versions of *hashcat-* i expect an increasing number of PSA modules and want to suggest creating a reasonable way of numbering these modules.
The system could look like this:
0-999: modules optimized for specific PSA (VB3, VB4, Joomla, LDAP, SL3, etc)
and everything above 999:
xyzz where
* x is the number for a hash algorithm (e.g. 1 = md5, 2 = sha1, 3 = ntlm, 4 = sha256, etc)
* y represents a specific salting mode (e.g. 0= salt.pass, 1 = pass.salt, etc)
* z represents the number of characters for the salt (if z = 0 we have a straight hash)
as an example, a Joomla hash might in fact be mapped to mode 1115 or 1130
This would make the hash modes more intuitive to select instead of needing to learn every single mode number by hard (or looking it up at the help screen).
