Post: RE: OMEN (Ordered Markov Enumerator) in 2026

Interesting, thanks for sharing. In particular the benchmark results are interesting and telling. I was surprised how much PRINCE was outperformed. I will give it a try, hope the piping limit will no...

Post: RE: 20 characters long password

Perhaps you should consider if there is any pattern in those 20 digits. For example, if someone would have typed them "randomly", I can assure it is not really random and you could significantly reduc...

Wow, this is very useful. I am surprised to see there are such huge differences. I am interested to see the comparison of CUDA and OpenCL.

Perhaps have a look at this part of the benchmark output in your own post. E.g running with --optimized-kernel-enable can make a huge difference for many hash types: ` Benchmark relevant options: ...

I have not tested this myself, but I guess making your dictionary bigger would help to make it less of a bottleneck. You can first add one ?b to your dictionary, then add the rest. For example .\has...

In the past I had similar issues. I solved the bottleneck by a) reducing the number of mask and b) making the final modifications using rules. In other words you break down complexity. Based on the ma...

Obviously it means hashcat does not recognizes your line endings. Perhaps use a editor like Notepad++ or any other capable editor, enable "show line endings" to see what line endings you are using in...

8-9 character passwords are very insecure unless they are completely random. So you better define what you exactly mean with a "complex password". Trying all possible combinations with a simple mask...
