hashcat v4.1.0

[Vidramon]

Nice! 20% improvement in WPA is a pretty HUGE accomplishment. Thank you hashcat team for your dedicated work!

How 20 % ??

Benchmarks on my 1050ti

3.5 version 110.1 kH/s
4.0 version 106.4 kH/s
4.1 version 116.3 kH/s

Real time test after 15 minutes.

-w 3 command

3.5 version 105 kH/s
4.1 version 111 kH/s

Improvement is about 5 % not 20 %..

Did checkpoints get fixed in this version? It can still take days to reach a checkpoint so that a hashcat process can exit cleanly.

In some cases, the checkpoint doesn't work at all and the keyspace will have to be exhausted for a clean shutdown of a hashcat process.

So I guess the answer to your question is "no"?

Sounds reproducible, so good catch. The steps necessary to reproduce, in a GitHub issue, would make this actionable.

Cool, will test on the rig early next week. As for removing the --gpu-temp-retain option and refer to driver-specific tools; any examples on tools for e.g. GTX 1080 Ti and newest NVIDIA drivers?

Code:

$ nvidia-settings -a GPUFanControlState=1

  Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (wopr:0[gpu:0]) assigned value 1.
  Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (wopr:0[gpu:1]) assigned value 1.
  Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (wopr:0[gpu:2]) assigned value 1.
  Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (wopr:0[gpu:3]) assigned value 1.
  
$ nvidia-settings -a GPUTargetFanSpeed=75

  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (wopr:0[fan:0]) assigned value 75.
  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (wopr:0[fan:1]) assigned value 75.
  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (wopr:0[fan:2]) assigned value 75.
  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (wopr:0[fan:3]) assigned value 75.
  
$ nvidia-settings -tq GPUCurrentFanSpeed
