Update default hash settings to 64MiB:3:4 for Argon2 in -m 70000, following RFC 9106 recommendations.
Add option OPTS_TYPE_THREAD_MULTI_DISABLE: allows plugin developers to disable scaling the password candidate batch size based on device thread count. This can be useful for super slow hash algorithms that utilize threads differently, e.g., when the algorithm allows parallelization. Note: thread count for the device can still be set normally.
Add options OPTI_TYPE_SLOW_HASH_DIMY_INIT/LOOP/COMP: enable 2D launches for slow hash init/loop/comp kernel with dimensions X and Y. The Y value must be set via salt->salt_dimy attribute.
Change autotune kernel-loops start value to the lowest multiple of the target hash iteration count, if kernel_loops_min permits.
Fixed a bug in autotune where kernel_threads_max was not respected during initial init and loop-prepare kernel runs.
Improved shared memory handling for -m 10700. Removed the hard-coded limit of 256 threads and now dynamically check the device's shared memory pool to adapt threads accordingly.
Implemented a feature request to display non-default session names early during startup.
Added a check for the number of registers required by a kernel (CUDA and HIP only). This allows us to estimate the max threads per block before entering the auto-tune engine and make pre-adjustments.
Fixed Metal command encoder argument to work with the new auto-tuner's extra kernel invocation.
Fixed incorrect host memory calculation logic during automatic kernel-accel reduction for scrypt-based algorithms. This ensures memory constraints are respected.
Improved several plugins by setting maximum loop counts and others using the OPTS_TYPE_NATIVE_THREADS option.
Fixed compilation on Apple platforms by excluding '#include <sys/sysinfo.h>'.
- Integrated occupancy hints from vendor APIs (CUDA, HIP) to set a
dynamic threads-per-block limit per kernel instead of using static
values.
- Added `find_tuning_function()` to identify the relevant kernel.
- Autotuner now runs in three stages: threads -> loops -> accel. The
first two stages now stop increasing when the tested kernel runtime
gets too close to the target runtime (96ms for `-w 3`), leaving
headroom for the next stage to adjust in a finer sense.
- Accel tuning now uses a capped floating-point multiplier instead of
powers of two.
- Removed workarounds for missing thread autotuning in plugins.
- Removed the hardcoded 4GiB host memory limit for accel. Added a
cross-platform `get_free_memory()` to check actual free RAM during GPU
initialization, preventing underutilization of high-end GPUs like the
4090. If needed, users can still cap memory usage with `-T` or `-n`.
- Updated enums for ROCm 6.4.x and CUDA 12.9.
- Added code to detect kernel register spilling. That's relevant so we
can keep free enough global memory on the runtime for the runtime to
handle spills efficiently.
Refactored inc_hash_scrypt.cl almost completely and improved macro names in inc_hash_scrypt.h. Adapted all existing SCRYPT-based plugins to the new standard. If you have custom SCRYPT based plugins use hash-mode 8900 as reference.
Fixed some compiler warnings in inc_platform.cl.
Cleaned up code paths in inc_vendor.h for finding values for HC_ATTR_SEQ and DECLSPEC.
Removed option --device-as-default-execution-space from nvrtc for hiprtc compatibility. As a result, added __device__ back to DECLSPEC.
Removed option --restrict from nvrtc compile options since we actually alias some buffers.
Added --gpu-max-threads-per-block to hiprtc options.
Added -D MAX_THREADS_PER_BLOCK to OpenCL options (currently unused).
Removed all OPTS_TYPE_MP_MULTI_DISABLE entries for SNMPv3-based plugins.
These plugins consume large amounts of memory and for this reason,limited kernel_accel max to 256. This may still be high, but hashcat will automatically tune down kernel_accel if insufficient memory is detected.
Removed command `rocm-smi --resetprofile --resetclocks --resetfans` from benchmark_deep.pl, since some AMD GPUs become artificially slow for a while after running these commands.
Replaced load_source() with file_to_buffer() from shared.c, which does the exact same operations.
Moved suppress_stderr() and restore_stderr() to shared.c and reused them in both Python bridges and opencl_test_instruction(), where the same type of code existed.
