Wordpress Hashes and Temperate Limit
#1
Hi,

I often face an issue while running an attack on Wordpress hashes and other slow hashes like MD5(Unix).

I run a dictionary attack against around 10 to 20 wordpress hashes and after a while, it reaches the temperature limit.

I understand that these hash types cause oclhashcat-plus to increase the GPU usage and also the memory usage, so is there a work around?

Code:
oclHashcat-plus v0.08 by atom starting...

Hashes: 20
Unique salts: 18
Unique digests: 18
Bitmaps: 8 bits, 256 entries, 0x000000ff mask, 1024 bytes
Rules: 1
GPU-Loops: 64
GPU-Accel: 400
Password lengths range: 1 - 15
Platform: AMD compatible platform found
Watchdog: Temperature limit set to 90c
Device #1: Cypress, 1024MB, 0Mhz, 20MCU
Device #1: Allocating 1203MB host-memory
Device #1: Kernel ./kernels/4098/m0400.Cypress.32.kernel (371944 bytes)

[s]tatus [p]ause [r]esume [q]uit => ERROR:
Temperature limit on GPU 1 reached, aborting...

What settings do I need to change?

My GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5870
Catalyst Version: 12.4
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
