Another milestone is taken. Atom just released a new version of oclHashcat-lite.
The main improvements in this release are the implementation of the LM algorythm and support for IPB 2.0, MyBB1.2 aslong as a big modifcation to the EULA. The changes in the EULA were kind of forced due to some concerns in the userbase about legal commercial use. Atom's point of view should be now more clearly to understand.

Atom just got his first 7970 and made a post in the hashcat forum on how it performs:

...
MD5: hd5970 = 4940M/s, hd7970 = 8156M/s.
...
Conclusion: This card rocks, i am looking forward for the 7990!

The mastermind atom has a very cool new feature upcoming in the next version of oclhashcat-plus. He calls it "multi-rules".

With them you will be able to combine an unlimited (as much ram you have) rules files.

http://hashcat.net/forum/thread-703-post-3472.html

Hey Guys,

I wanted to give you a sneakpeak to the latest oclHashcat-plus feature coming with version 0.07.

This feature goes back to an suggestion from Hash-IT, see here: http://hashcat.net/forum/thread-645.html

Again, thanks for this!

Since no other cracker have this feature, I had to find a name for it.

I will call it "multirules".

Instead of just giving one -r parameter and a file, you can now add as many -r's as you want.

But they are not just appended (or executed in serial).

They are combined. Each rule of each rule-file is combined with each rule of each rule-file (see original post above to see the details).
