Hey team, so my main goal is to have hashcat and john crack passwords as fast as possible, but i'm not brute forcing. most the passwords i will attempt are 16 characters, but doubled. so i need to run a stdout of 8 characters, or so, and insert rules to those. I can't seem to get massive increases with a GPU over cpu on this method.
Does anyone know the best rig for rules mixed with combinator etc... would a 32 core cpu setup outperform a gpu on this? Most the rules i use will require john to perform the final hashing, and i know this ISN'T john's forums, but i know you guys are experts.
Also note money is not a problem (but want to be smart). I was thinking an i9 7960x or a dual Xeon e5-something
Any tips are much appreciated.
