Hey guys, I'm new to hashcat after discovering that I forgot my bitcoin passphrase. (lol) I've always been interested in cryptography so I'm using this as an excuse to jump in. Anyways, I was wondering what other types of hardware can be used with hashcat. I notice in the help file it mentions the usage of FPGA or a Math Co-processor. Has anyone ever tried using ASIC bitcoin mining hardware to streamline SHA-256 hashes here? Just curious. Thanks!
this was answered before, short, no it is not possible to use asic miner for cracking
In the instructions for hashcat everything is written, you can read.

if he has a good and obviously very small wordlist of HIS passwords he uses, this would be sufficent even when using with a massiv rules list
it all depends on HIS passwords ^^
for sure bruteforcing should not work
