oclHashcat - limit amount of wordlist words for left mask
#1
Hey,

I found out that using more or less huge wordlists for the left mask affects oclHashcat's performance very much:
Code:
Status.......: Running Hash.Type....: NTLM Mode.Left....: Dict '..\wordlists\insidepro\InsidePro (Full) - 1.dic' (2065950) Mode.Right...: Dict '..\wordlists\insidepro\InsidePro (Full) - 2.dic' (1646243) Speed.GPU*...: 94.0M/s Recovered....: 2/1169163 Digests, 0/1 Salts Progress.....: 190292244480/3401055725850 (5.60%) Running......: 8 mins, 15 secs Estimated....: 9 hours, 29 mins HW.Monitor.#1: 3% GPU, 52c Temp

so i splitted the left wordlist into multiple parts:
Code:
Status.......: Running Hash.Type....: NTLM Mode.Left....: Dict '..\tmp\ip1_1' (172580) Mode.Right...: Dict '..\wordlists\insidepro\InsidePro (Full) - 2.dic' (1646243) Speed.GPU*...: 1136.0M/s Recovered....: 6/1169162 Digests, 0/1 Salts Progress.....: 255170042880/284108616940 (89.81%) Running......: 3 mins, 56 secs Estimated....: 25 secs HW.Monitor.#1: 91% GPU, 65c Temp

how about only caching a predefined part of the left wordlist (like done by hashcat) to gain optimal performance on every wordlist size?

no, its already doing the caching. reasons for your speed must be something different.
