Hi folks,

been using hashcat with good results on my home gaming rig (decently fast quad core Intel CPU and a GTX 1080), however, concerns about proper handling of customer data means I need to move away from the current BYOD model.

As a solution, I'm using hashcat 5.1.0 on an Azure NV24 series VM instance (24 CPU vCores, 4 Tesla M60 GPUs).  It's Ubuntu 18.04 with the Microsoft/Nvidia drivers installed. (accoridng to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/v...iver-setup ) all nicely recognised by nvidia-smi

The GPU performance is bearable - I can get just slightly more out of four Tesla vGPUs as I can out of my physical 1080..

My concern is - I can't get hashcat to recognise the CPU cores. tried installing an OpenCL sdk for Intel (from here; https://launchpad.net/~intel-opencl/+arc...tel-opencl ), without joy.

The GPU performance is okay - but given the pricing model in Azure, it seems wrong to leave 24 cores sat doing nothing and paying for them.

any ideas folks?
