Now find out how to fine-tune your attacks. In the first two parts of this series, I explained what hardware to get and then described how to use the hashcat software suite to perform dictionary and brute-force attacks. If you have been following along, by this point, you should have had plenty of time to build your own password-cracking hardware and experiment with oclhashcat. As I mentioned in my last column, password cracking is a pretty dense subject. Use More GPU Cycles The first area where you can fine-tune your attacks is to put more or less load on your GPU.
/path/to/mp32.bin -1 ? Experiment with passing different values to -n, and see whether your comparisons per second and the percentage of GPU used increases. Although it may seem like increasing the -n setting is a no-brainer, it turns out that a higher setting really only benefits brute-force attacks. Mask Attacks /path/to/mp32.bin -1 ? Attack Rules.
