So I’ve been out of the GPU cracking game for a while as I’ve been running a MacBook on OS X.
After doing a little digging tonight and reading up on the latest version of hashcat (v3.00) it became apparent to me that hashcat now runs on OS X platforms. At last! Thanks to @hashcat (atom) for making the software open source!
For those of you wanting to get… Continue reading

Before doing this it made sense to run a speed test using the scripts provided on thepasswordproject.com.
Before running these tests it’s important to ensure that your fans are… Continue reading
So you’ve got oclHashcat and you want to practice cracking hashes but you’ve got no hashes? Fear not! There are hashes listed below for you to play with or if you would like to generate hashes yourself download my perl module here and have a play with making them and then cracking yourself: svn checkout http://hashcat-passgen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ hashcat-passgen Direct link to code here.
