Subject: Re: Getting full performance out of multiple GPU's
Alexander,
Thank you for the help. I believe I am properly using a GPU and the actual
hashing is being done there. The nvidia-smi command seems to agree. Based
on your email, I suspect the problem is that the korelogic rule generation
is still happening on the CPU rather than the GPU. Is there an easy way to
correct that? I've copied my command below.
john --wordlist=rockyou.dict --format=descrypt-opencl
--devices=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 --fork=8 --rules=korelogic htpasswd
Thanks,
Adam
