Help with R9 290 WPA speed
#1
Hello.

I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 with two R9 290 GPUs and Catalyst 13.11 beta drivers (the 13.12 drivers refuse to install for some reason).

Anyway I ran the oclHashcat benchmark. It took c.45 minutes to complete but that was more to do with each kernel apparently taking ages to load. My hash rate was approx 20% of "PC5" on the hascat homepage for every kernel, which I'm not surprised about (8x 290x's vs. 2x 290's). WPA/WPA2 speed was reported as 295 kH/s.

Here's my question: when I run a dictionary attack on a sample *.hccap file, I only see about 13 kH/s. So the rockyou.txt dictionary takes nearly 20 mins to exhaust. How can I get the 'real life' WPA/WPA2 speed up to the benchmark reported 295 kH/s? Any tips would be much appreciated!

Thanks
