The hashcat brain sure sounds good but have no idea how to use it … above my hat , so to speak . Have some friends look into it cause think you need to be an it specialist to make it work !
Again : many thanks !
You are certainly welcome.
To run hashcat brain, is just like running another hashcat instance. But instead of hashing a code, hashcat brain will act like a hash custodial, to check storing hashed candidates info , and also check for new candidates to check if a particular word ( candidates ) has hashed, or not yet.
If you only have 1 computer to run hashcat, running hashcat brain can be beneficial as well. For example, you have tun a run hash 000000000 in one of your wordlist. Later on, if other worklist with same 000000 candidates,, it will in struck hashcat to skip this word. The more you use hashcat brain, it will store more tried answer, and if you next wordlist has alot of hashed candidates, it will skip alot of words, and your wordlist will run faster as well.
Here is some example
Computer 1 : Need to run both brain and hashcat
Code:
Hashcat Brain
sudo ./hashcat.bin --brain-server -brain-host=192.168.1.100 --brain-port=13743 --brain-password=secret[b] [/b]
Hashcat GPU
Code:
sudo ./hashcat.bin --m 22000 -w 3 ./hash.22000 ./wordlist.txt --status --brain-server -brain-host=192.168.1.100 --brain-port=13743 --brain-password=secret --session=hbrain.
Please take note the option " --brain-server -brain-host=192.168.1.100 --brain-port=13743 --brain-password=secret "is the same for both brain and hashcat. and two - - before brain.
