A million little bugs - hashcat dev

Since there is some rumor on the hashcat forum to build a new GUI that is os independent i have to announce that there is one in active development. It's QT based and is built in collaboration with atom. There is no release candidate yet but it's in near!

I'm proud to announce the release of v0.36 of hashcat.

Do you know the guy called flash? The guy how could move really fast? Atom made him look like grandpa as he improved the performance of oclhashcat's mysql-hash-mode from 6,9B/s to 34,7B/s (on a ATI 5970) today. That's an amazing increase about 500%!
It's now part of the 0.26 beta and will be released soon!

Atom made the changes public in the new release 0.26, the performance increase is absolutly amazing!

preview note: i managed to utilize the BFI_INT instruction on AMD GPU's 5xxx and 6xxx on oclHashcat v0.26 which gave a nice performance boost. afaik oclHashcat v0.26 is the first BFI_INT hacked OpenCL based program. here is a preview from a 4 x hd5970 rig:

MD5: 20.1B/s
SHA1: 11.1B/s
NTLM: 33.2B/s

i think this hack also make oclHashcat the worlds fastest SHA1 single hash cracker.

To give a little descriptions, BFI_INT is an opcode of the GPU that is not available in the compiler. Atom made a permutable kernel that builds and patches itself at the runtime to be able to use the opcode!

There is a closed beta ongoing with some deep deep hacks in it. The beta is exclusive for ati 5000 and 6000 series. performance increase in md5 according to atom is about 100%!

more details are following as soon as they are public.
