hashcast wiki
Also it is already on a wiki page but oclHashcat64.bin --help.
I have spent multiple hours on the wiki page, I wouldn't have asked the question before looking at the wiki. The question still stands, is oclhashcat the optimal cracking tool for md5(unix) hashes and is a dictionary attack the best one for this ?
Fast algorithms like MD4, MD5 or NTLM do work with simple dictionary attacks on a GPU, but this is not very efficient. It takes longer to transfer the wordlist data to GPU global memory rather than to just attack them on the CPU."
Form this it seems that other CPU based tools would be preferable, am I interpreting this right ?
