Is it possible to increase the pass/sec rate? #19

Closed kasra closed 6 years ago

kasra commented 6 years ago

Thanks for this very useful tool.

My current best rate is 1.8 pass/sec [8 threads on an i7-6820HQ] - unfortunately this is not fast enough for my dictionary size. Is there a way to increase this? (perhaps via hacking cryptsetup?)

glv2 commented 6 years ago

I think the only ways to significantly increase the rate are having faster CPUs and having more CPUs.

I understand - thanks again.
