AMD Brook version slow with hd3870?
Attached is a screenshot of my system running the 32-bit Brook version of barsWF. My hardware is the following
--Pentium D 920 (stock 2.8GHz, overclocked to 3.4GHz)
--2GB DDR-2 800 ram
--Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR3 (stock speeds, no overclock)
Also I run catalyst 9.8.
As you can see I'm getting roughly 7.5 million hash/second out of the GPU...given that a 3870 is roughly equal to a 9600GT which, as we all know, gets 350+m/second, shouldn't I be seeing FAR better numbers here? Why does this seem so slow?
Also noteworthy is the fact that in the regular SSE2 version of Bars i get 35 million/second because it recognizes two cores of CPU...however this brook version seems to only recognize one core?

It is supposed to work with 8.12 drivers only 
1 core is reserved for managing Brook thread.
This all is kinda sucks.

So you suggest I go down to 8.12?BarsMonster wrote:It is supposed to work with 8.12 drivers only

Re: AMD Brook version slow with hd3870?
Yes. It should not even start on post-8.12 drivers. Also, I admin that BarsWF kinda sucks from ATI now. You might want to try ighashgpuCrucifix wrote:So you suggest I go down to 8.12?BarsMonster wrote:It is supposed to work with 8.12 drivers only

Okay, installed 8.12.BarsMonster wrote:Yes. It should not even start on post-8.12 drivers. Also, I admin that BarsWF kinda sucks from ATI now. You might want to try ighashgpuCrucifix wrote:So you suggest I go down to 8.12?BarsMonster wrote:It is supposed to work with 8.12 drivers only

I looked into ighash, unfortunately it only supports HD 4000 series and up.
However, i'm getting 310 million hash/sec now since driver switch, which is good enough for me.
Also, I had another question...is it true this program supports max of 15 character hash?

Re: AMD Brook version slow with hd3870?
Yes, it is 15 max. Can't see how you can reach 16+ except trying "01" charset 

Re: AMD Brook version slow with hd3870?
Well, i'm just thinking about the people who have rigs that do like 5000m/second.BarsMonster wrote:Yes, it is 15 max. Can't see how you can reach 16+ except trying "01" charset
A friend of mine downloaded this program because he had the idea that it could crack CD key hashes, but in reality, most CD keys are 20+ digits long which, even if this program did support 15+ char sets, it would probably take years to crack a 25 character string.

Re: AMD Brook version slow with hd3870?
Yeah, to crack 25x[az] you will need 1'501'609'779'350'377'910 years at 5000m/secondCrucifix wrote:Well, i'm just thinking about the people who have rigs that do like 5000m/second.BarsMonster wrote:Yes, it is 15 max. Can't see how you can reach 16+ except trying "01" charset

I'm waiting for someone to try 4 5870s and get 10000m/second.BarsMonster wrote:Yeah, to crack 25x[az] you will need 1'501'609'779'350'377'910 years at 5000m/secondCrucifix wrote:Well, i'm just thinking about the people who have rigs that do like 5000m/second.BarsMonster wrote:Yes, it is 15 max.

Even then though...way too low to ever crack a CD key hash.

Uh.. How the heck will you crack a CD Key?!?.. Is it MD5 Encoded?.. o.0Crucifix wrote:I'm waiting for someone to try 4 5870s and get 10000m/second.BarsMonster wrote:Yeah, to crack 25x[az] you will need 1'501'609'779'350'377'910 years at 5000m/secondCrucifix wrote:

let's say you host an online game. Most online games track people based on their registered CD keys.
So, you open an online game of Halo or Call of Duty or something like that. As people walk in, you ban them from the game. The game bans based on an MD5 hash of their CD key, so theoretically all you would have to is go into your server's small database of banned users, decrypt the MD5s stored there and, bam, you would have a bunch of CD keys.
This is all neglecting the fact that most CD keys are 20+ characters in length, and use a combination of capital letters and numbers, which makes their respective MD5s basically impossible to crack.

How about sniffing hashes out of network, and injecting them into the game response?Crucifix wrote:Yes --LordMike wrote:

Re: AMD Brook version slow with hd3870?
What if 2 cd keys have the same md5 hash? Then both would get banned if only one of them get banned. Doesn't sound right

Ok. So the hash of the CD key is then 'salted'. Where 5 characters consist of "-" (Often).
xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Giving 20 characters (Exactly 20

(26+10)^20 = 13.367.494.538.843.734.067.838.845.976.576
Damn..

6B/s = 2.227.915.756.473.955.677.973,140996096 seconds
~ 70.646.745.195.140,65 years..
