local electronics store had a hd 5970 on sale for 550$. couldn't pass it up so now i have 2x5970 :cool:

try editing /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cpyrit/cpyrit.py and change "ncpu=1" to equal the number of cpu cores on you system.

I overclocked the GPU to 850 Mhz which gets about 150,000 PMK/s...

my 6-core intel i7 gets about 300 PMK/s with cowpatty. that'll take 22 years to go thru the entire 8 char a-z key space. you will need some type of GPU setup to do this faster. ATI cards + pyrit +...

You can use crunch to create the password list and then pipe that to pyrit. something like the below should work. I haven't tried it myself yet tho.

I'm running pyrit + calpp with a single ATI HD 5970 overclocked GPU/RAM to 800/1300 respectively. Benchmark shows about ~165,000 PMK/s where stock clock was around 145,000 PMK/s. I tried...

yay, finally figured out how to run my HD 5970 above 70,000 PMK/s! Problem was crossfire being enabled. I was mislead at first because "aticonfig --lsch" says crossfire was disabled. But if you...

Anyone with HD 5970 having problems getting higher than 70,000 PMK/s? I've spent a good portion of a few weekends reading the pyrit dev site, reinstalling BT4, different ATI drivers, older version...

pretty sure cal++ is only supported on AMD currently.

I thought I read on the pyrit's site you need to have 1 cpu for every gpu, no hyper threading. So if you have a dual core i3 cpu and have two...

is it possible to use my own wordlist?

i wonder how the back-end systems are configured. one would guess the instance you pay for is not a VM since you cannot access the GPU directly, unless Amazon figured out a way.

Thanks for clearing that up, purehate. It did seem low.

Could the reliability issue be related to disk I/O since it is reading from a password list? Maybe the standard 7200 RPM spindle drive is...

Don't mean to bump an old thread but was wondering if OP ever went thru with building the pyrit box using the ATI card? I'm looking to do the same but there's very little discussion on BT forums...
