Benchmark LM Cracking – CPU vs. GPU – John the Ripper vs. Cain vs. Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery

Hi to all. This is my firs post in english (I’m not the best writing in english).

I made a Benchmark for LM Cracking using my laptop:

Dell XPS M1530
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2Ghz
4 GB RAM
Windows Vista Ultimate
Hard Disk 120 GB 7200 RPM
Nvidia Gforce 8600M GT 256 MB

I Used:

  • John The Ripper (386 and mmx)
  • Cain
  • Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery

BENCHMAR

The objetive was test how many password/seg could be cracked using diferent software.
There are crackers based in cpu and recently in gpu.
For CPU test, I used John the ripper (386 and mmx) and CAIN.
For GPU test, I used Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery. Although this software allow more than 1 cliente, I only used my own laptop.

Here we go.

JOHN THE RIPPER 386. Speed: 4 M/s

John the ripper 386 test in core 2 duo 2.2GHZ

John the ripper 386 test in core 2 duo 2.2GHZ

JOHN THE RIPPER MMX. Speed: 9.2 M/s

John the ripper mmx test in core 2 duo 2.2 Ghz

John the ripper mmx test in core 2 duo 2.2 Ghz

CAIN. Speed: ~8 M/s

Cain cracking LM hash in core 2 duo 2.2 Ghz

Cain cracking LM hash in core 2 duo 2.2 Ghz

ELCOMSOFT DISTRIBUTED PASSWORD RECOVERY (GPU). Speed: 22.5 M/s

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recover with 1 GPU cracking at 22.5 M/s

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recover with 1 GPU cracking at 22.5 M/s

FULL RESULTS

EDPR (gpu):            22572914 c/s
John mmx (cpu):       9230000 c/s
Cain (cpu):                7969348 c/s
John 386 (cpu):         4043000 c/s

    Sorprende bastante los resultados 22.5 M/s con una tarjeta gama media (q ademas tiene gpu “recortada” para portatil)

    Hi! This is my firs post BACK in english (I’m Chinese and not that good neither in writing english or oral english).
    I wanna declare that You method of Beach Marketing is unfair.
    1. John `s Best platform is NIX, with 64bit cpu (make it as linux-x86-64 or so). your version is window, in this case it slows down the speed. The actual DES Crack speed for john in your CPU should be about 2000K C/S. it was 1500K IN my LINUX@T7100; And 2510K c/s real, 2530K c/s virtual in my OSX10.5@XEON5500(2.66GHZ).
    2. John only consume one CPU so you can crack two different password with you 2 cores. But you can do that with EDPR.
    3. I through to test LM-hash is none of sence because of Rainbow tables may be the best way to crack it.
    It `s just my opinion, if you don`t agree pls tell me

    OK, that’s true, but the issue here is to show how efficient are applications that use the GPU
