There is a bug in 0.2.2 regarding Null-bytes in imported passwords that causes Pyrit’s blobspace to get corrupted. Fixing this bug requires a slight change in the binary format of the blobspace. This means that databases handled by current svn-versions and upwards will not be compatible with those created by 0.2.2.
On the other hand we [...]
Beginning 0.2.3
Version 0.2.2 released
The last couple of days brought some very important performance improvements to Pyrit’s backend. Importing of passwords, writing to cowpatty files, evaluation of the blobspace etc. are *much* faster than before; the CPU-time consumed by the backend during batchprocessing is about 30% of what it was before.
I’ve tagged all this as version 0.2.2:
* Pyrit (required): [...]
Version 0.2.1 released…
Rev83 has been tagged as version 0.2.1 – yay! See the posts below for some of the changes since 0.2.0.
This is also the first time that I release x86-binary RPM-packages…
You can download the packages right here:
* Pyrit (required): source and binary
* CPyrit-CUDA (optional, for Nvidia-hardware): source and binary
* CPyrit-Stream (optional, for ATI-hardware): source and binary
Enjoy. [...]
Rev82 committed
It has been a while since the last update on Pyrit. Besides smaller things, the code-changes since rev69 include:
* The Stream-Core has been updated to support the new SDK 1.4 including support for Multi-GPU on ATI-GPUs.
* The CUDA-Core is now using the Driver-API directly so you are no longer required to have the CUDA-Toolkit installed [...]
Record performance
A new record performance has been reached: A setup with two “GeForce GTX 295″ running Pyrit rev75 on all 4 GPUs computed 39.600 PMKs per second in total. This is equivalent to around 650 million rounds of SHA-1 or 38 gigabytes of data processed per second.
I also got word of a dual GeForce 9800 X2 [...]
Gentoo-Portage overlay added to svn
I’ve created a overlay for Gentoo Portage which includes ebuilds for Pyrit and it’s modules. For users of Gentoo Linux this is probably the easiest way to install Pyrit.
How to use:
* Emerge and setup layman.
* Edit /etc/layman/layman.cfg and add “http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/gentoo/pyrit.xml” under the ‘overlays’ section.
* Run ‘layman -a pyrit‘ to add the overlay to your portage [...]
