AMD Radeon R9 M370X not being used, Mac

[led5150]

Hey all,

I am fairly new to this game, but I've been trying to get my GPU to be recognized by hashcat.  As far as I understand it, the AMD Radeon R9 M370X supports openCL, but hashcat is not using it.

As far as the drivers go, they are whatever came with my Mac, and without upgrading the OS, it looks like I can't update the drivers.  Here's what I'm working with, dated, I know:

OSX: 10.11.6
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

It sees the Intel guy, but not this one

AMD Radeon R9 M370X:

  Chipset Model: AMD Radeon R9 M370X
  Type: GPU
  Bus: PCIe
  PCIe Lane Width: x8
  VRAM (Total): 2048 MB
  Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
  Device ID: 0x6821
  Revision ID: 0x0083
  ROM Revision: 113-C5670E-945
  gMux Version: 4.0.20 [3.2.8]
  EFI Driver Version: 01.00.945


Not sure if there is anything I can do?  I'd love to get more power as I'm currently in a password breaking contest at school and at a miserable 218 kH/s I doubt I'll win.

Thanks for any help!

the numbers always depend on the type of hashes. for instance 218 kH/s for a bcrypt hash with cost factor $09$ would be quite impressive
218 kH/s doesn't mean anything without any info about the hash type (and parameters, cost factors if applicable)

Code:

hashcat --version

(must say hashcat 6.0, see https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/releases/)

Code:

clinfo

Code:

hashcat -I

[led5150]

Ah yes! That would have been helpful!

Its the code 500 or Cisoco-IOS $1$ MD5 hash.

full command: hashcat -m 500 -a 3 hashfile.txt maskfile.txt -O

My version is v6.0.0-4-g5628317d - fresh install today

clinfo didn't work. Not sure if that is in my $PATH. I did a find for it from root using find / -name clinfo 2> /dev/null with no results.

hashcat -I

try

Code:

hashcat -d 3 -m 500 -b

for clinfo (install homebrew first):

Code:

brew install clinfo

BTW: I think the alias problem is related to https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/2460 (#2 and #3 GPUs shouldn't be aliases, because different models of GPUs)

[led5150]

Ah, That first command did bypass Device #2 and did the benchmark on #3

Matthews-MacBook-Pro-2:hashcat MattChamplin$ hashcat -d 3 -m 500 -b
hashcat (v6.0.0-4-g5628317d) starting in benchmark mode...

Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default.
You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option.
Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length.
To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.

So yeah. Looks like it's related to that tread you posted. However, I'm not sure exactly what it's suggesting? Should I use --force or not?

[philsmd]

To tell the truth, this is actually quite a new problem (discovered after the recent 6.0.0. release) and the development team unfortunately has no such devices to debug with...

The github issue tries to find a solution, but until now the suggested solutions do NOT seem very clever or at least they do not target the root of the problem. Maybe you could contribute to this issue and try to find what exactly is "different" between these 2 devices (if it really is not the PCIe slot etc, which normally indicates that a device is different from another device on most other platforms and operating systems, see https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/blob/....c#L40-L44 and https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/2083 , https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/pull/2086 , https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/2460)

Maybe we can distinguish the devices by number of processors (but the problem could be that some drivers could report slightly more cores/processors and that would make the comparison fail on other platforms or with other drivers):

Code:

if (src->device_processors != dst->device_processors) return false;

Code:

make clean

git checkout 5628317
