500x Faster NetNTLMv1 Kernel for Hashcat
So after my last article where I optimized hashcat's DES kernel, dolphin became increasingly interested in how to crack NetNTLMv1 (well, surely it’s because PEAP MSCHAPv2 uses this). Given that I already have a tested pipeline, I migrated the pipeline targeting mode 5500 (NetNTLMv1).
Headline result: 12.8TH/s rules attack with 1000 salts, versus 23.4GH/s before. Speedup is 549x.
