I realise it and can be useful for people that forgot their own password, there are many illegal/immoral uses for it.
It's useful not just for forgotten passwords, but for penetration/security testing as well as theoretical purposes.
Should we allow such programs in AUR ?
We most definitely should; such software is not illegal and has plenty of legitimate use; further, similar software already is present in [community].
+1 I don't need it and don't have it installed, but I agree that it can be useful. If somebody wants to misuse software, then a MUA, resp. a sendmail program likely could cause more evil, then a password cracker. So, should we forbid sendmail programs? How many times a day does somebody successfully crack our passwords? How many spam mails do we receive each day?
