FPGA solutions for hashcat
#1
I previously modified the bitcoin miner (cpuminer-opt) to send mining jobs to FPGA for mining via UDP. The actual application is at the following URL.

I am considering rebuilding this process in hashcat for FPGA password cracking.
What I want to ask is, is there a demand for this kind of application? Is it worth investing my time in doing it?

If your FPGAs support OpenCL, which is very rare, Hashcat may work with the FPGAs but it's extremely unlikely that it'll just be plug-and-play, even if they do support it. Most likely you'd end up just making your own hash cracker and not using Hashcat directly
