[deprecated] oclHashcat-plus

Note: all versions of oclHashcat have been replaced by a unified OpenCL CPU/GPU version, now known simply as hashcat.

Description

oclHashcat-plus is a GPGPU-based multi-hash cracker using a brute-force attack (implemented as mask attack), combinator attack, dictionary attack, hybrid attack, mask attack, and rule-based attack.

Current version

Last version was 0.15 before it was replaced by oclHashcat.

Background

The main problem with the first GPGPU hashcat version oclHashcat was to do with it's architecture. It was designed for doing Combinator attack. That worked well with fast algorithms but in combination with slow (modern, highly iterated and salted) algorithms,that was an inefficient strategy.

As a consequence, people still used the CPU-based hashcat for serious hash-cracking. This is because it is possible to work with simple dictionary-based attacks. To be able to do dictionary-based attacks on a GPU, it was neccessary to deal with the architecture problem of oclHashcat first. The only solution was a complete new approach. This second oclHashcat version, which is designed for dictionary-based attacks, is called “oclHashcat-plus”.

Notes about simple dictionary attack on GPU:

An additional major feature of oclHashcat-plus is the GPU-based rule engine. With this it is possible to do Rule-based attack.

As a result, oclHashcat-plus is a lot more like the original CPU-based hashcat.

The first official release was v0.02, released on 30.01.2011.

Another important release was v0.06, released on 16.09.2011: It was the first version that supported the WPA/WPA2 algorithm.

With release of v0.07, oclHashcat-plus replaced regular oclHashcat when it ported Brute-Force Attack, Mask Attack, Combination Attack and Hybrid Attack.

Supported attack modes

Dictionary loading

The reason behind the special loading of the dictionary is that some kernels require all plaintexts to be of the same length to process them efficiently.

Brute-force crackers usually do not have this problem because the length of the generated plaintext is always the same. But it's not so in wordlists. Usually the words in wordlists are not sorted by their length. So the idea was oclHashcat-plus would cache each of the loaded words once, and store them into specific buffers. Each word-length has one unique buffer. If a word has the length 8; it sorts it into buffer number 8. Then, if buffer 8's threshold is reached, it processes them and clears it afterwards. This is why it is so hard for oclHashcat-plus to have a restore / resume position.

Hint: You can optimize your wordlists for oclhashcat-plus usage. You just need to sort them by their length. It is recommended that you generate seperate wordlists sorted by their length. The hashcat-utils ship with a tool called: “splitlen”, which was written for this task. (Note: sorting wordlists by length order is no longer necessary in modern versions of hashcat.)

Resume support

The following Informations are outdated. With version 0.12 oclHashcat-plus got real resume support added.

While it is not officially supported, one of our users, undeath , had a neat idea:

To gain the possibility of resuming wordlists with oclHashcat-plus, you can pipe the words into stdin using hashcat. It is then recommended that you sort your wordlists by length as described above prior to this.

hashcat --stdout wordlists/list.dict | oclhashcat-plus ... 

On aborting using CTRL+C, you will see the well known message: “To restore Session use Parameter -s xxx” so you can restore the cracking process later as with the cpu version. Also, you are able to use all word altering functions provided by hashcat (like Table Lookup attack or Permutation attack).

Performance

Please refer to the homepage to get the latest benchmarks.

What does Real c/s and GPU c/s mean ?

Real c/s is derived from dividing all tested passwords from zero to present from the moment oclHashcat-plus started. This is often a lower figure as it takes into account copying wordlists into GPU memory and also the PCI-Express overhead.

GPU c/s is derived from dividing the time for the last 32 kernel launches by the number of finished passwords from the previous 32 kernel launches. This figure is usually higher than Real c/s as there is no time lost copying the wordlist or PCI-Express overhead.

In general GPU c/s is a more accurate representation of oclHashcat-plus's performance as wordlist loading is dependant on the I/O performance of the users computer.
