Very large dict (naxxatoe) - hashing stops
#1
Hello all,

Running oclHashcat 1.36 / AMD 14.9 / Ubuntu 14.04.

I got ahold of the naxxatoe wordlist (32gb uncompressed / ~ 4.5 billion lines). I tried this on a WPA2 - and it seemed to start okay. Took several minutes to even calculate the dict stats, but I would expect that.

It began cracking and ran for several minutes. At some point, all the speed counters dropped to 0 and the progress started moving very quick (I assume its basically a NOOP at that point).

Has anyone ran a dict this large ? Should I do something to split it into pieces ?

Thanks.

Disclaimer: I understand differing opinions on using very large dictionaries such as this - I'm more interested in the limits of oclHashcat and what can go wrong internally when using something this large.
