Does the current version of hashcat support network parallel processing over the network on CPUs? We have several servers with dual quad cores we are looking at utilizing. Also, If this is possible is it possible to intermix hashcat cpu clients with oclhashcat gpu clients?

Hashcat by itself does not do this, but you can download disthc from sourceforge and use it to cluster several machines running hashcat.

I will give it a shot. It seems as if cryptohaze will support this right out of the box and uses opencl to operate the cpus, however, hashcat has much more algorithms available.

I grabbed disthc and was able to get it to compile and install ok. I am a little confused on the usage documentation. I try to start the server like the notes say and it gives me.
----------------------------------------
Disthc Server Build [28]
HASH FILE:: disthc.hashes
File not found: disthc.hashes
I am not really sure what it is expecting or what is telling it where to look. I checked the config files and I didn't see anything. Does anyone have use guide?
