Does hashcat plan to support ASIC Chips like what avalon is cranking out for bitcoin mining?
Not built for this specifically, but it seems like the next logical step after gpu's, and since they are basically just chips custom built for nothing but running sha256 compares as fast as possible, It shouldn't be too tough to integrate. Hell, they are using alot of the same metrics we are already.
It would represent a dramatic increase in the potency of any decent mask supporting pw recovery tool.
(a 5 gigahash/second box is only about $250)
terrahash seems the most intresting prospect right now....
