Thanks for your great feedback on this release.
I have read your comments very carefully.
I think they send me directly into the right direction what to do next.
But if someone out there has more ideas: Post them!
I will quote some of your comments. I think this way its easier to discuss them.
Thats correct. The documentation does not fully include all the limitations around hashcat and oclHashcat*. This is a non-profit project. Please appreciate this circumstance.
The resume thing is a bit more complicated than many of you may think. Especially due to the optimization that are included into oclHashcat-plus.
For example, a wordlist is scanned from top to bottom, but the execution of the words are not in order.
They are reordered inside oclHashcat-plus for optimal performance. This makes resuming a bit more complicated because
there is no way to say: Start from line 83925412 of the Dictionary X like in CPU version of hashcat.
The more and the better you can explain your request, the better the chances are that i can implement it into oclHashcat-plus.
Well that is a BIG problem. Especially because of the rule engine and the memory management. And a huge load of work, too.
Well that is already possible. You just need to pipe the output of the maskprocessor into oclHashcat-plus.
Download it here: http://hashcat.net/files/maskprocessor-0.65.7z
Thats also possible with the maskprocessor.
What you mean with massive lists? Hashlists or Dictionaries? Well it doesnt matter though because both are well supported. Loading a 20gb dictionary or bigger should work fine. You can also pinpoint a directory. oclHashcat-plus will scan the content of the directory and then iterate through every file in that directory.
There are two attack forms in oclHashcat-plus. Either the rule based or the permutation attack (using -a 4). However the rule engine is a little programming engine that allows you to do exactly this what you were aksing for. Its just a bit more specific. See the rules/ folder for example or a good Documention from this sites: http://ob-security.info and here: http://kaoticcreations.blogspot.com/2011...rules.html

Quote:I have other requests which are probably best written in list form and I am sorry to bore you or anyone else with long explanations. :o) Although I would willingly elaborate on any of them if you wish.

Quote:Allow longer passwords. The password limit of 16 is quite restricting for WPA.
Well that is a BIG problem. Especially because of the rule engine and the memory management. And a huge load of work, too.
Quote:Brute force. There are some wifi providers which use 8 character all upper case only, this is now brute-forcible but hashcat+ doesn’t allow u?u?u?u?u?u?u?u .
Well that is already possible. You just need to pipe the output of the maskprocessor into oclHashcat-plus.

Thats also possible with the maskprocessor.
