AxCrypt Slow
#1
Hi All,
 on my MAC the hashcat speed is 30MH/s for zip file but only 900H/s for AxCrypt v1.
hashcat -a 3 -m13200  ./oldx-zip.tmp 
Someone could suggest me why?
Thanks
Brillo

different hashes == different speeds

you cant compare speeds on different hashalgorithms as each algo has its own speed due to technics like the algorithm itself and iterations (md5 is way more faster to compute than lets say scrypt)

when benchmarking axcrypt you will see that standard iterations are 10467, but i think in your case it is 39000

so try running hashcat -b -m13200 see the benchmarked speed and divide this by 4 as your iterationcount is ~ 4 times higher, also try using -O (optimized kernel) to gain a little more speed
