WSL hate_crack looking for hcat rules folder in hashcat bin directory #53

Playing with hate_crack in WSL Ubuntu 24.04 and installed hashcat with "apt install hashcat". The apt package puts the Hcat rules folder in "/usr/share/hashcat/rules" which causes hate_crack to exit with an error when running (1) Quick Crack since it is looking for the rules folder in the hcatPath from config.json which is /usr/bin

The easy workaround for me was to create a sim link "sudo ln -s /usr/share/hashcat/rules /usr/bin/rules"
