Dell Precision (w/M1000M)
#1
Hey all,

I'm looking into getting a new laptop for on-site testing, that is, away from the office. To that end, we are looking at the Dell Precision workstations, chuck a load of ram in it, SSD - mainly so that I can run a few VMs at the same time and swap between them with little aggro.

A thought struck me, after using our old friend responder.py, it may be really handy to run some cracks against the netNTLM network hashes you (generally) gather. Checking out the Quadro 2GB DDR5 M1000M on notebookcheck has this to say:

1st generation Maxwell
512 shaders running @ 993 - 1072 MHz
128-bit bus.

they conclude: "As the exact clock speed is not known, we can only speculate on the performance. However, it is a lower mid-range model from 2015 from the Quadro line. It should be slower than the GTX 950M in 3D gaming, but easily outperform the Quadro K1100M"

That being said, I know it's a mobile card, and a Quadro one to boot, as it's for CAD guys with the certified drivers. I know you're all about the 970 and above here (and for good reason it seems).

So, whilst I know this isn't a great card, is it even worth running hashcat on this, on site, if I'm there for a day or so, against a common hashtype that I'm likely to find (netNTLMv2)?

Does anyone have experience running Dell Precision laptops with this kind of abuse? I saw epixoip made sure to buy a laptop with good heat transfer; however, hashcat isn't the primary reason for this machine, would just be a 'nice to have' or am I better off just not using something substandard.

Cheers.
