#defcon31

Added new hashcat plugin 'ENCsecurity Datavault' based on pretalx.c3voc.de/media/rc3-2021… from Sylvain Pelissier and Boi Sletterink. Up to 20MH/s, depending on configuration, on a single RTX2080Ti.

First hashcat benchmarks on the new NVIDIA RTX 4090! Coming in at an insane >2x uplift over the 3090 for nearly every algorithm. Easily capable of setting records: 300GH/s NTLM and 200kh/s bcrypt w/ OC! Thanks to blazer for the run. Full benchmarks here: gist.github.com/Chick3nman/32e…

Pro results are official: hashcat 1st, Cynosure Prime close 2nd, HashMob.net Users - Pro close 3rd. There's a slight undercount for some Street hashes, where 1-4 place are all very close, so might make a difference, stay tuned.

Team hashcat has won the KoreLogic contest at #DEFCON30 ! It was extremely close at the end, everyone put up a great fight. Congrats to CynoSure Prime for 2nd place and to HashMob for 3rd place. Thanks to KoreLogic and Password Village for organizing this year's contest.

From Team hashcat, Good luck to all the Pro/Street teams competing in KoreLogic for DEF CON! May your drinks stay cool and your GPUs too!
