Detailed Explanation: Hashcat Brain

Hashcat Brain Integration

In Hashtopolis you can configure a global Hashcat brain server which can be used. This is done in the server config where you have to add the host, port and password for the brain server which the clients then should use.

For every hashlist you add to Hashtopolis afterwards, you can select if the brain should be used for this hashlist (keep in mind, it is only useful to use the brain on slow hash algorithms as otherwise it would introduce a bottleneck).

If a hashlist is set to use the brain, every task issued with this hashlist will then automatically use the brain client flags on the client when running it.

Note: PRINCE and piping tasks are excluded from the brain, as Hashcat is not supporting the brain features when using stdin for the candidates.
