Question regarding benchmark output - steevi - 06-03-2016
Good evening everybody,
I am looking at some hashcat benchmarks and i noticed that at the crypt function (e.g. md5crypt) it outputs the following
Hashtype: md5crypt, MD5(Unix), FreeBSD MD5, Cisco-IOS MD5
Workload: 1000 loops, 32 accel
Does the workload which is measured in loops have to do with the gpu-loops paramter or it means that we have 1000 ieterations of MD5 algorithm (i.e. MD5(MD5 ..... MD5(string) 1000s MD5s)?
Thank you very much

In this case both, since md5crypt has exactly 1000 iterations. However what you see is the -u setting

Thank you very much for yous answer.
So this applies in general i guess? So simple hash functions such as below also have iterations right (e.g. 256 in the below code).l
Hashtype: SHA384
Workload: 256 loops, 256 accel
Have a nice day

No, it's only for slow hashes

Great Thank you very much
