Weird client behaviour in Brain Attack
#1
I am currently running a brain attack in the following setup:

- Hashcat version: 5.1.0
- Offline 10G LAN network
- 1 dedicated Brain Server Machine (Specs: Ryzen 2400G, 32 GB RAM, Windows 10)
- 3 Brain Client Machines (Specs: i7-4790k, 32 GB RAM, RTX 2080 Ti FE, Windows 7/10)
- Target Hash mode: 14600 LUKS cbc-essiv: sha256
- Single Target
- brain-client-features=3

Two clients are running separate mask-attacks, which already ran upon a certain point, but were aborted.
The other client is running a dictionary attack. Obviously, the two clients running the mask attack are only getting rejected batches upon a certain point. Shortly after they actually start doing some work, they stop with their brain link saying "receiving" without any activity. The client application itself is responsive, i.e. pressing s still gives a status, but if I want to quit, they hang. The dictionary attack keeps running smooth and after it finishes, the mask-attacks start running again.

Did anyone observe something similar?

Best,
