Pyrit Batch speed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. pyrit batch on essid is incredibly slow

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

pyrit 0.4.0 and Ubuntu 10.4

Please provide any additional information below.

Batch process on an essid depend on the size of the dictionary or length of the 
essid?  I ask because I see examples where the batch process is done on 
1000/1000 workunits or 1500/1500 workunits.  On my particular essid it's been 
running the entire night and it's on 1600/14000 workunits 1500-5000 PMKs per 
second.

What I mean to say was "Does the batch process of a specific essid depend on 
the size of the dictionary or length of the essid?"  I ask because I see 
examples where the batch process is done on 1000/1000 workunits or 1500/1500 
workunits.  On my particular essid it's been running the entire night and it's 
on 1600/14000 workunits 1500-5000 PMKs per second.

???

It depends on the size of the dictionary only.

That's the problem then, my list contains almost a billion passwords.  Now to 
figure out how to delete the database and start again... :)

If you are using the filesystem-based database (the default) you can simply 
delete "./pyrit/blobspace" in your user's home directory.

So I am using the filesystem based database, however when I search for the 
blobspace it doesn't exist anywhere.  It has to be somewhere, as my "pyrit 
eval" reports almost a billion passwords.  Any ideas as to where it might be 
hiding?

how you are searching? a leading dot makes folder hidden.
.pyrit/blobspace should be in your home dir, if you are root then is 
/root/.pyrit/blobspace, do a
# ls /root/.pyrit/blobspace
(keep an eye to the dot)
