I agree with you bandwidth may cause the problem. Password generation on
GPU will reduce the transfer time.
For term of "password generation", I just want to make it clear. Do you
mean that in real password generation, the single, wordlist and incremental
mode? I mentioned real because we split benchmark with real password
generation. In benchmark, we just use bench_set_keys(set key from test_fmt
one by one).
For now, I haven't explored so much of these modes. But I am familiar with
ben_set_keys. So if I test it by modifying bench_set_keys, the result is
also meaningful, right?
Thanks!
