Optimizing RTX 4090 hashcat cracking performance
#1
Hi there,

I'm new to hashcat and so far I "successfuly" managed run hashcat on a 8x RTX 4090 instance on vast.ai.
I'm trying to crack my wifi password which is a random combination of 10 chars, lower & upper cases + numbers.

Command issued:
#hashcat -m 22000 -a 3 -1 ?l?u?d --increment ../wpa-test3.hc22000 ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

I'm not sure I'm running hashcat at its full potential since in the benchmark under WPA I read:
Speed.#1.........:  2529.4 kH/s (51.16ms) @ Accel:16 Loops:512 Thr:512 Vec:1
while running hashcat I read however:
Speed.#1.........:  2465.8 kH/s (6.44ms) @ Accel:8 Loops:256 Thr:256 Vec:1
The complete command outputs are reported below.

I went thorugh the wiki and red that in some cases not feeding enough workload to the GPUs can slow down the process. Not sure if this is relevant to my case though. Anyhints is highly appreciated and kindly excuse me if the question sounds silly.

Thank you,


Benchmark
Code:
hashcat (v6.2.6) starting in benchmark mode

Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default.
You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option.
Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length.
To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.

Yeah that speed is perfectly fine. The reason why it's taking so long is that it's just a near impossible amount of passwords to try. It's (26+26+10) ^ 10 which is 839 quadrillion possible passwords, which is just simply not possible to search. The router manufacturers know what they're doing and deliberately do this to avoid people cracking the passwords - it's just not mathematically possible.

Thanks - that's good to hear.

But why are the reported benchmark values "Accel:16 Loops:512 Thr:512" way higher than the one I experienced i.e. "Accel:8 Loops:256 Thr:256"?

I'm currently looking into the options:
-n, --kernel-accel            | Num  | Manual workload tuning, set outerloop step size to X | -n 64
-u, --kernel-loops            | Num  | Manual workload tuning, set innerloop step size to X | -u 256
However I think hashcat already does some sort of autotuning to figure out the best workload.
Edit: I found this post about the autotune engine https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-5184.html

Thanks

You can essentially ignore the tuning values, they are chosen by hashcat's autotune engine as you have already figured out. As penguin said, that speed looks perfectly fine and within the tolerance/variance we expect as cards begin to heat up and their clock speeds vary.

Wonderful then - Thanks for your inputs!
