2x6 gtx1080 cluster
#3
Hi, I'm a total novice here but am wondering if there is any genuinely supported distributed flavour of hashcat. It could potentially avoid the financial (and thermal etc) overheads of multi-GPU setups and could be a good way of re-using old kit with half-decent GPUs depending on individual machines available (looking at overall cost of kit and electricity etc bang per buck). IIRC the actual PCI Express speed isn't that important for hashcat (as the amount of memory and overall speed of the cards appear to be the bottleneck), so using a setup with distributed GPUs on machines over a Gigabit network shouldn't impact performance compared to a centralised solution either.

But I'm quite often wrong and not too proud, so am prepared to be shot down in flames...

And I'm sorry if "--keyspace, --skip, and --limit" do all that for me.

And to be a bit controversial, I'd say that "neither endorsed nor supported by Hashcat" appears a bit short-sighted given the potential benefits of distributed systems. Although I understand why that would be the case if they are done by third parties, it begs the question why it isn't addressed as part of the project.
