Ighashgpu is neat but it hasn’t been updated in over a year. The problem is that even with GPU acceleration you won’t often be able to get past 8 characters. I’m surprised that this comes so late to HackADay, I’ve seen high-speed hash cracking for years. Posted in Security Hacks Tagged cain, crack, gpu, hash, ighashgpu, password, windows Post navigation Now that you know how easily your password can be unearthed perhaps you will get some use out of this article discussing the usability and security of longer passwords which we ran across over on Reddit. We looked in on GPU cracking in September but didn’t focus on the software packages that are out there. We were very interested to see how easy it is to use this package. Hands down ighashgpu is the fastest with Cain taking about one year to crack an eight character password while ighashgpu can do it in under nineteen hours. ![]() On a Windows machine he pitted the Cain password recovery tool which uses the CPU for its calculations against ighashgpu which uses ATI or Nvidia graphics cards to do the deed. ![]() took a look at some of the options out there for cracking passwords and found that utilizing the GPU produces the correct password in a fraction of the time. ![]() The power that a Graphics Processing Unit presents can be harnessed to do some dirty work when trying to crack passwords.
