From the PM, it looks like you'd benefit from doing what philsmd described - using the 'skip' and 'limit' options to split the job across two nodes. philsmd, I'm actually not aware of a simple tutori...

The answer should be intuitive. Some algorithms are literally much 'faster' than others. If the hash wasn't really designed for cracking-resistant password storage - such as MD5 - then it's quite fas...

Ah, so it was previously running, and then it got overwritten somehow? My first instinct is to say that it's almost certainly due to either a non-hashcat-supplied script with a bug in it, or some o...

Crunch is unnecessary for most attacks: * Limiting duplicate characters is not worth the sacrifice in speed * Resumption of candidate generation is built in natively to hashcat Generating candi...

If your target password is likely less than the max supported by an optimized kernel, adding "-O" to your command line will be significantly faster. This max value varies from hashtype to hashtype - c...

If your card is still supported by latest stable AMD drivers, it should be supported by hashcat.

The instructions on the wiki page are very clear - create a .reg file with the specified contents, then run it as Administrator and reboot. That last part is Google-able.

This depends on your use case. If you have a one-time cracking job that will only take a few hours or days, then the cloud makes more sense. If you intend to have longer-running jobs, or multipl...

Post: RE: On-the-fly loading of gz wordlists

I'm not sure, but I think that decompressed data can be used "on the fly" - as soon as it's decompressed, without having to wait for the entire file to decompress.

Yes, that seems right. It would have to decompress the whole thing first, enough to analyze the statistics and then cache them. so I assume there would be some duplicated work, just like dictionary ca...

Thanks for masking the hash! Could you provide the full commandline you're using, and the output that you get (continuing to mask any hashes)?

There are tools for doing this for some specific hash types, but official hashcat does not currently support this.

Post: RE: Can i use mask but for hash?

I think there is a fork or two of hashcat out there that does this. Also there are specialized tools like epixoip's md5substr: https://github.com/epixoip/md5substr/blob/master/md5substr.c
