Hashcat with free drivers on Linux? - Squeeze - 01-04-2017
Hello, everyone.
I'd like to know will hashcat work on any of free drivers(nouveau/amdgpu) in the near future? Is it possible to run it somehow not on amdgpu-pro/ati-drivers/nvidia-drivers atm? Or I should forget about my "wet dreams" and use some of proprietary drivers just for the one tool? Maybe someone from the hashcat-staff can share that kind of info?
Thanks for the answers.

For CPU, you can stick to pocl (which is slower than the proprietary drivers). For GPU, you need the proprietary drivers.

Everything Richard Stallman ever told you was a lie.
