Benchmark selection
#4
I am not sure which other algorithms would apply, but I imagine that some algorithms are good for testing differences between AMD/NVIDIA, or between driver versions, or between versions of hashcat. atom / philsmd, I assume that you would know some of these immediately.

I agree with philsmd about including some Office.

Other ideas:

* PBKDF2 (because it's probably used in a number of different places?)
* SHA-3 or SHA-512 (or an algorithm likely to be used for a long time to come, to compare benchmarks over time)

For selecting groups of hashes for focused benchmarking, it might be useful to select all of the ones in a particular family:

* Raw Hash
* Raw Hash, Salted and/or Iterated
* Raw Hash, Authenticated
* Raw Cipher, Known-Plaintext attack
* Generic KDF
* Network Protocols
* Forums, CMS, E-Commerce, Frameworks
* Database Server
* HTTP, SMTP, LDAP Server
* FTP Server
* Checksums
* Operating Systems
* Enterprise Application Software (EAS)
* Archives
* Backup
* Full-Disk Encryption (FDE)
* Documents
* Password Managers
* Plaintext
