Post: RE: Help debugging Hashcat not starting...

You have --show in both of your commands. Hashcat is only checking the potfile for the passwords, it's not running the attack. One of them has been previously cracked and thus it emits the passwords s...

Yeah, there's no advantage against attacks like this where the "password" is not human created. That said, there's not really any disadvantage either, as you will still cover the full keyspace. Switch...

This is normal. Hashcat doesn't run "0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" in order for masks, it runs an optimized ordering using a built in markov model trained on real passwords to bring the "most likely to be real...

For DEScrypt hashes, the first 2 characters are a "salt" and the following 11 characters are the actual "hash". The resulting outputs should always be 13 characters. Code: -- c6[YgflxsopH3 c6[PGX...

Post: RE: i want help hashcat run crack with Multi-GPU

You cannot accelerate this in the way you are thinking, the reason the GPUs are not working with the short masks is because there's nothing for them to be doing. There isn't enough work to feed them. ...

This is strange behavior and my best guess is that it has something to do with your system outside of hashcat, perhaps a thermal event or power saving or such. It could even be a "this process appears...

I have no idea what the point of the abstruse writing style is but what you're describing, or attempting to describe, is somewhat how hashcat's markov chains already work. Our markov chains are "per p...

First, I would NOT attempt to use the CPU device at the same time as the GPU device. This will only lead to worse overall performance in the majority of cases, especially on an already weak system. ...

I have no idea why they would think that. The 5090 is easily the fastest GPU, and the 4090 is not awfully far behind it. The 2080Ti certainly cannot come close to either, so something is seemingly wro...

The short answer is: No, you cannot effectively utilize a 4090 in ALL attacks or algorithms on PCI-e x1 2.0. The longer answer is: Yes, you can effectively utilize a 4090 in SOME attacks or with S...

The 5090 is currently the fastest GPU. The datacenter/commercial GPUs are not faster than their GeForce counterparts (except in a few very specific use cases/modes).
