New Attack-Mode: Association Attack

[atom]

Wow, this is going to be a game-changer!

If feasible, one UX request: Please do what JtR does here and warn the user about any "calculatable" efficiency thresholds into this new mode. For example, a warning could say "700 total salts found - at least 1024 salts needed for full attack efficiency", etc. (Of course, this can only be implemented for thresholds that can actually be calculated at runtime)

We have. It's this:

Code:

The wordlist or mask that you are using is too small.
This means that hashcat cannot use the full parallel power of your device(s).
Unless you supply more work, your cracking speed will drop.
