Or if you know the person who created the password doesn't believe 0 is a number, that can be used in a custom character set. For example, if the passwords are from a site/company that requires one capital letter and one lowercase, and the password must be 8-12 characters, you don't need to try a mask ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l.

However, to be effective, PACK requires your cracked passwords be representative of all the passwords, so feeding it passwords cracked solely by masks isn't likely to give good results.įinally, anything you know about the password set can be used to increase the Pwd/s. PACK has a nice mask generator, but that is based on what you've already cracked by other means, including other mask attacks. The trickiest part is getting the good mask(s). (Dictionaries can have numbers as words.) There are also passwords a mask attack would likely be more effective than a dictionary/rule attack, such as password that's just numbers. There are passwords you'll never find with a dictionary/rule attack.

They are useful, as not all passwords are based on a dictionary word. But their Pwd/s speed seems slower than rules. Masks are useful, and for me, give the fasted H/s speed. Obviously, not all rules are going to be equally effective, and picking the set that would give you the best result is both an art mixed with some luck. This will greatly increase the H/s speed, and probably increase the Pwd/s speed beyond what a true life dictionary attack would give. Because, as you said, getting the dictionary words to the GPU is a bottleneck, you can use rules to to have the otherwise idle GPU create some variants of each dictionary word. Of course it you won't have an ideal situation in real life. So IMHO, the dictionary attack in an ideal situation is the fastest. This is the fastest Pwd/s and the slowest H/s.

In an ideal situation, you have a dictionary that has every password you are trying to crack in it and nothing extra. Personally, I think the second is more important. There are two ways to measure cracking speed: hashes tried per second (H/s), and passwords cracked per second (Pwd/s). is this correct ? i also noticed that the crack speed decrease incase of bigger size of wordlist for the dictionary attack ? so it is opposite to Rule attack in this case. and also what about mask attack, does the longer size of mask attack cause speed difference?Ĥ-If we are going to make a sorting from fastest to slowest methods for cracking WPA, would it be i though that Rule-based attack should be faster because all the work is done inside the GPU in terms of modifying the wordlist to many other words.ģ-Does the wordlist size have effect on the GPU cracking speed incase of Dictionary attack ? or Rule-based attack? or mask attack ? i think that the bigger size of the wordlist, the more GPU faster speed the rule-based attack will be. but to my surprise that i found that some times the mask attack is faster than the Rule-based attack, although the mask attack should be slower because it copy the generated words from CPU to GPU which takes alot of time. So if this is correct why mask attack is much faster than dictionary attack, although both copy the data from CPU to GPU through the PCI express ? in my testing i found out that always the mask attach is faster than dictionary attack.Ģ- I think that the fastest attack is the Rule-based, because it modify the wordlist inside the GPU so copying is no longer need from CPU to GPU. is this correct ? i give example below to the command i use to performe mask attack Is it true that the Mask attack is faster than the the dictionary attack ?ġ- My first question is that i understand for mask attack, that the passwords are generated to by the CPU, then it is copied via the PCI express to the GPU, then the GPU start working on the hashcrack. The Rule-based and Mask attack gave me nearly the same speed. I was testing what is the fastest attack and i found out that the D ictionary is the slowest one then the other two types. For WPA/WPA2 hash crack, There are three major types of attacks (D ictionary & Rule-based & Mask) attacks.
