Detailed Performance
CPU/GPU Usage
All hashes were randomly generated. The programs are sorted by average performance in first 4 columns. Performance is reported in hashes computed per second. For non-salted hashes (LM, NTLM, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512), this is the same as candidate passwords tested per second. For salted hashes (DCC, DCC2, SSHA, MD5CRYPT, BCRYPT, SHA256CRYPT, SHA512CRYPT, WPA-PSK), this is the number of candidate passwords tested per second multiplied by the number of hashes (all of which use different salts in these benchmarks). Results for salted hashes (where said multiplication was applied) are marked with asterisks (*).
Note: Demo version of PPA only permits 10 accounts.
Note: Hash Suite and Hashcat can treat the CPU as an OpenCL device (providing in many cases better performance)(marked with
underscore), but unlike other CPU programs benchmarked here, it would require an
OpenCL driver.
Note: John the Ripper uses a smart mode that tries more probable candidate passwords first. Other programs use a dumb mode for brute-force.
Note: John the Ripper's multi-threading support is inefficient for fast hashes (all of those benchmarked here except for DCC2, MD5CRYPT, BCRYPT, SHA256CRYPT, SHA512CRYPT, WPA-PSK), so its performance for 4 threads is not much greater than for 1 thread; much better cumulative performance of 4 processes (rather than threads) may be achieved by using --fork=4 instead.
Note: Except for SHA256CRYPT and SHA512CRYPT, an older non-AVX2 build of John the Ripper is benchmarked here; a newer AVX2 build would be up to twice faster at some of the hash types.
