Hi Alexander,
Is there any documentation regarding the functioning of JtR format and its
associated methods as a whole?Because I am unable to clearly understand how
each function shall be invoked during a test and during actual cracking.
Adding to the complexity I have only implemented the PBKDF2 step on GPU and
the rest of the steps are meant to run on CPU as you suggested.So when the
crypt_all() method is invoked do you want to benchmark only the PBKDF2 step
or the MSCash2 as a whole. Benching the whole MSCash2 will/should be
inherently slower since only the PBKDF2 step will be run in parallel.
