I am starting to wonder if the drop in performance would be so bad for WPA cracking as it would for MD5 for example. I suspect the drop will be different for each.
I think it has been suggested elsewhere on this forum that there should be two versions (kernels) for hashcatplus so one based on performance of <16 characters and one for completeness of >16 characters. I understand this would require too much work and bloat hashcatplus.
It is a tough one and one which is beyond my limited abilities. Fortunately we have atom thinking about it now and I am sure he will come up with an answer. Something to think about though is that it doesn’t matter how fast hashcatplus is if it cannot test the password required then it is useless. Although if it is slow but able to complete the test at least you get the password in the end….. however long that may take !
