AMD Radeon 7850/R7 265 not showing up - Help

[triskle]

Hello,

This is my first post and I really hope I am not breaking the rules here by asking this as I see the rule:
"Do not post issues about using a GPU that is no longer supported by the latest driver from its vendor".

This is not exactly what I am asking but I hope it is not interpreted as such.

I have an old computer that I decided to dedicate hashcat to, I have installed OpenCL to work with my Intel CPU and it worked great. I managed to get the passwords extracted from PKMIDs and ran an 8 digit (?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d etc) on a 22000, it executed (exhausted, but still worked). It took 9 hours (Old Intel Q8300 @ 2.5GHz).

So today I wanted to run both my CPU and my GPU together to deduct the length of time.

I am running The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) (will probably install Debian or Ubuntu later), so the AMD drivers are already installed by default.

I can not seem to get Hashcat to see my GPU though. I have spent several hours reading Google results but to no avail. This is when I decided I should sign up to the forum as I will probably be asking questions in the future. This forum has been a gold mine for my previous success but for some reason I just can not find any answers to get hashcat to see my GPU.

Any suggestions would be fantastic and to the mods, I really hope this is not breaking a rule; would be a shame as I have nobody to talk to about this and I'm lost in the dark here.

Thanks in advance and thanks for such an amazing tool.

did you read this info on the landing page?

• AMD GPUs on Linux require "RadeonOpenCompute (ROCm)" Software Platform (3.1 or later)
  

this has nothing to do with buil-in graphics drivers for amd, so try installing rocm

second, yeah k-a-l-i isnt the ditro of choice when it comes too hashcat, stick do ubuntu or any other debian, as i think hashcat is developed with a debian distro

see this readme for installation

Thank you Snoopy!

I may have overlooked that information, I must admit I may have had a little information overload as I spent the entire day reading and writing on my notepad. I did see ROCm mentioned, thanks for pointing that out; I completely missed it. Aye, as I was typing the post out I knew I was going to get backlash for mentioning the OS that should not be named. It was a quick fix to get me back into all this as I dropped it as a hobby years ago. Going to get a more stable install soon (Most likely Debian). 

Again, thanks for the advice Snoopy and taking your time to reply
