Hi.

In case you run a brute force with mask, speed decreases.
oclHashcat32.exe -m 0 -a 3 8fa1c84f6XXXX38ccXXXXf04274a0c52 ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a
Speed.GPU.#1...: 1108.5 MH/s

oclHashcat32.exe -m 0 -a 3 8fa1c84f6XXXX38ccXXXXf04274a0c52 ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?akeys
Speed.GPU.#1...: 992.8 MH/s

oclHashcat32.exe -m 0 -a 3 8fa1c84f6XXXX38ccXXXXf04274a0c52 keys?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a
Speed.GPU.#1...: 10220.0 kH/s



Why does my search mask keys?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a well as speed decreases?
Thank you for your help.

Because you lose the amplifier. That's very technical and goes back how oclhashcat partially reverses the MD5. The best workaround is to use it as a salted hash:

oclHashcat32.exe -m 20 -a 3 8fa1c84f6XXXX38ccXXXXf04274a0c52:keys ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

That'a slower as it can not reverse anymore, but should be faster than 10220.0 kH/s

I was doing something like this today with NTLM I specified a few character of the known password and the rest was a mask and that resulted in significantly slower processing.

Is this due to something similar?

yes, same case, but there's no salted version of NTLM as this algorithm isn't used in a generic case. for ntlm, the only way to solve this is to produce 2 half dictionaries using maskprocessor and then use in -a 1 mode:

using the data from above example it would look like this:

mp64.bin -o d1 keys?a?a?a?a
mp64.bin -o d2 ?a?a?a?a

oclHashcat32.exe -m 1000 -a 3 8fa1c84f6XXXX38ccXXXXf04274a0c52 -a 1 d1 d2
