Welcome to hashcat v4.2.0! 

Download binaries or sources: https://hashcat.net/hashcat/

This release is mostly about expanding support for new algorithms and fixing bugs:

• Added hash-mode 16700 = FileVault 2
  
• Added hash-mode 16800 = WPA-PMKID-PBKDF2
  
• Added hash-mode 16801 = WPA-PMKID-PMK
  
• Added hash-mode 16900 = Ansible Vault
  

Thanks to @hops_ch for contributing the Ansible Vault mode!

Improvements:

• Added JtR-compatible support for hex notation in the rules engine
  
• Added OpenCL device utilization to the status information in machine-readable output
  
• Added missing NV Tesla and Titan GPU details to tuning database
  
• General file handling: Abort if a byte-order mark (BOM) is detected in a wordlist, hashlist, maskfile or rulefile
  
• HCCAPX management: Use advanced hints in message_pair stored by hcxtools about endian bitness of replay counter
  
• OpenCL kernels: Abort session if kernel self-test fails
  
• OpenCL kernels: Add '-pure' prefix to kernel filenames to avoid problems caused by reusing existing hashcat installation folder
  
• OpenCL kernels: Removed the use of 'volatile' keyword in inline assembly instructions where it is not needed
  
• OpenCL kernels: Switched array pointer types in function declarations in order to be compatible with OpenCL 2.0
  
• Refactored code for --progress-only and --speed-only calculation
  
• SIP cracking: Increased the nonce field to allow a salt of 1024 bytes
  
• TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt cracking: Do an entropy check on the TC/VC header on start
  

Notes:

• The removal of 'volatile' keyword has a large positive impact on cracking performance on macOS
  
• The refactored code for --progress-only is important if hashcat is used in combination with a distributed overlay such as hashtopolis

Fixed Bugs:

• Fixed a function declaration attribute in -m 8900 kernel that led to unusable -m 9300 (which shares kernel code with -m 8900)
  
• Fixed a miscalculation in --progress-only mode output for extremely slow kernels like -m 14800
  
• Fixed a missing check for errors on OpenCL devices leading to invalid removal of the restore file
  
• Fixed a missing kernel in -m 5600 in combination with -a 3 and -O if mask is >= 16 characters
  
• Fixed detection of AMD_GCN version when the rocm driver is used
  
• Fixed missing code section in -m 2500 and -m 2501 to crack corrupted handshakes with a LE endian bitness base
  
• Fixed a missing check for hashmodes using OPTS_TYPE_PT_UPPER causing the self-test to fail when using combinator and hybrid modes

- atom

Hello Atom , I cant see the new release ? Thanks for the update Kev

the links are https://hashcat.net/files/hashcat-4.2.0.7z and https://hashcat.net/files/hashcat-4.2.0.tar.gz

will be interesting to try out

Added hash-mode 16800 = WPA-PMKID-PBKDF2
Added hash-mode 16801 = WPA-PMKID-PMK

Awesome, thank you atom and all the tema behind.

Press shift+f5 on the main page eventually

Where is the 'Thanks' button

The newest version will not do my benchmark after hashmode 2500.  I did the clean uninstall drivers (DDU) in safemode but no change:


Update: Reverted driver 17.11.4 and is working now.

Hello Atom,

I think the new revision has solved my speed issue. Pc has been running a wpa session for over an hour and no speed loss so far .

Thanks Kev
