Hacked GDB Dashboard Puts It All on Display
There are a lot of these types of tools already in the reverse engineering community (in order of lowest chance of breaking when you throw really weird stuff at it):
GEF: https://gef.readthedocs.io/en/master/
PWNDBG: https://github.com/pwndbg/pwndbg
PEDA: https://github.com/longld/peda
They also come with a slew of different features to aid in RE/exploit dev, but many of them are also useful for debugging really weird issues.

Debugging with GDB
GDB is great. I definitely recommend checking out watchpoints as well, a very useful tool for monitoring how a variable changes over time.
GDB also has many good plugins - pwndbg has tons of features and UI improvements over stock GDB.

password decryption help
Ok, both John the ripper, hashcat and other tools seem to support extracting the hash, or directly trying to discover the password.

How to get hash from encrypted .vbox file?
The Hashcat Github discussion only states that it now supports .vbox hashes, but does not say how get the hash from the file. https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/2324

Is there a way to brute force wifi passwords from a known list
My preferred method of cracking is Hashcat.

Notes from competing in my first CTF
For this, I downloaded wordlists such as the rockyou wordlist and used tools such as Hashcat and John the ripper.

(Steel Battalion Line of Contact Official XDK Debug Build) Hey guys its RazorStoJ here. We are closer than ever to getting the debug build of Steel Battalion: Line of Contact, however we need your help! Please read below as we want the OG Xbox community to come together to help our Xbox game at SBO!
Tried Hashcat and rockyou word list?

How to make a specified wordlist?
IIRC (and this is knowledge from a few years ago, when I was more involved in things), Hashcat has the ability to do variations. It can also use your GPU instead of just the CPU so that you can make an absurd number of guesses per second. (Like really, really absurd).

Announcing go-vk: A Go binding for the Vulkan graphics API
for context, one of the things I have been looking into is implementing some of the techniques used in hashcat which does have GPU support, but trying to do them from Golang, so something like this go-vkseems to be the kind of thing I would need to bridge the gap between the Golang program and the GPU?

frozenkrill: a minimalist Bitcoin wallet focused on cold storage
Regarding argon2 vs scrypt: there is still no GPU implementation (AFAIK) for argon2id while scrypt has a very efficient implementation on hashcat (https://hashcat.net/hashcat/) and probably on ASICs

old protected zip files -- looking to try many passwords automatically
If you're comfortable using the terminal, I would recommend using hashcat. It can take a little effort to figure out how to use it but it works really well and I'm happy to answer any questions.
