understanding "Time.Estimated" in oclHashcat-plus "status" output - m4rtin - 01-13-2013

How is the "Time.Estimated" value under "status" output of oclHashcat-plus calculated? Is this calculated during the startup of the oclHashcat-plus based on the charset and GPU performance?

Example of "Time.Estimated" value:

Code:
Time.Estimated.: Sun Jan 13 10:15:46 2013 (33 mins, 9 secs)

Wouldnt be a very good estimation if it were just some number generated at startup would it?

My guess, it's calculated in real-time and it's a result of simple math depending on two factors. Current speed, left keyspace.

keyspace / speed - elapsed

If you are right, what about this output ?

Quote:Session.Name...: oclHashcat-plus
Status.........: Exhausted

Hash.Target....: xxxxx ()

The crack is finished, ("Exhausted"), it lasts 6 mins, 57 secs, I would expect to see "Time.Estimated : 0 sec", why it's more than 10 years ?

This is a bug which has been reported more than once, they're working on it. (hopefully)

Ok, thank you.


RE: understanding "Time.Estimated" in oclHashcat-plus "status" output - epixoip - 01-13-2013

likely a signedness issue when estimated time becomes negative.

Yeah, its about 36740146/36738605 - which is not possible and usually happens after restore
