Subject: Re: sha512crypt & Drupal 7+ password cracking on FPGA

Hi,

As I wrote in:

https://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2019/01/12/1

"Denis is currently working on improving these existing designs and
removing unnecessary historical differences between them."

This message is to announce the update of the sha512crypt & Drupal7
design, bringing it in sync with the latest sha256crypt design.

I'll over-quote my original announcement a little bit (since it's been a
long while) and comment on what changed:

Actually, there was some improvement in energy-efficiency vs. GPUs at
sha512crypt, but not at Drupal7, as discussed further in the thread back
then.  The revised design improves the energy-efficiency some further -

This is still the case, but the soft CPUs have been changed from 32-bit
to smaller 16-bit ones, similar to those Denis uses in sha256crypt.

It's 12 units per FPGA now, which means 48 SHA-512 cores, 192 in-flight
SHA-512 hash computations, 12 soft CPU cores, 192 hardware threads.
Four times that per board, meaning 768 hash computations in parallel per
board, or 3072 hash computations in parallel in the four-board
benchmarks below.

The design tools' reported frequency is now 215 MHz.

The current design appears to work reliably at 160 MHz, so that's the
new default (it was already the default for a previous revision).

One board (4 FPGAs), 160 MHz:

Four boards (16 FPGAs), 160 MHz:

$ ./john -2='1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9I0J' --mask='?2?2?2?2?2' --format=sha512crypt-ztex --verbosity=1 pw-sha512crypt

Scaling efficiency 269710/68648/4 = 98.2% (but maybe these runs are too
short to calculate it reliably).

This is 23% faster than we had in the original design at the same clock
rate.  We can also achieve a slightly higher speed with a larger mask:

$ ./john -2='?d?u' --mask='?2?2?2?2?2' --format=sha512crypt-ztex --verbosity=1 pw-sha512crypt

We're now slightly faster on four boards than hashcat is on GTX 1080 Ti.
However, hashcat is faster on RTX 2080 Ti:

https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-7853.html

Hashmode: 1800 - sha512crypt $6$, SHA512 (Unix) (Iterations: 5000)

Now it's 3.6A to 3.7A at 12V, which means 43W to 45W per board.

Drupal7 hashes:

Ditto, new design:

$ ./john -2='pasword' --mask='?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2' --format=drupal7-ztex pw-drupal7
[...]

That's a 25% speedup at the same clock rate.

(Jens' understanding was correct.)

Denis' new design appears to deliver about 140k sha512crypt or about 42k
Drupal7 per 90W, which is slightly better than we had before.
