Speeding up WPA cracking with ruleset - slawson - 10-01-2019
I have (2) R9-290X cards in my system, which I feel does a great job. I am getting close to 400K H/s while cracking WPA with a dictionary file. I can run through a large dictionary file in about 5 minutes. If I add the best64 ruleset, it takes about 8.5 hrs. I hope I can phrase my questions properly, but here they are:
1. I noticed that if I have two hashes in the same file to crack, it doubles the crack time. That seems logical, but is there any way to optimize that?
2. If I wanted to use the best64 ruleset, but I didn't wan't to use calculated passwords that are more than 12 characters, is there a way to do that? My thinking is that would greatly reduce the possibilities, but still be very effective.

AD1: you could use the Brain function (see release note for hashcat 5), you could edit the file to remove duplicates...
