Hi All,
I recently used ocl hashcat to crack an ecryptfs hash, the password was relativly simple a word and a numeric value and using a dictionary roughly 4GB in size it took approximately 5 days to crack. I'm currently trying to crack an NT hash and have built a 60GB dictionary to handle the potential complexity of the password. Yet ocl hashcat takes about 11 minutes to exhaust the list. I don't understand why it's taking less time to process more data, does the type of hash have something to do with this?
