Why there is no homebrew formula for hashcat? Developer claims OS X support.

Feels weird to download binaries and check sums manually.

This belongs to homebrew cask (https://caskroom.github.io/) and you can indeed install it using cask.

Isn't cask supposed to be for heavy apps with GUI?

I think you probably need some pretty big libraries installed to compile it yourself. Using cask you don't have to.

Nice speedup. On my GTX 980Ti, WPA/WPA2 benchmark (-b -m 2500): cudaHashcat-2.01: 281.1 kH/s, hashcat-3.00: 301.2 kH/s

They said they merged hashcat and oclhashcat.

Sorry for the noob question, but is there any reason why they didn't also merge it with cudahashcat?

They did, which unfortunately means reduced performance for older (pre-Maxwell) NVIDIA cards.

What about benchmarks and performance updates/regression/etc.? I'm sure the CUDA to OCL switch was a preformance hit at least in some cases (and compared to the equivalent CUDA code). Has anybody worked on something comprehensive?

Would be good to convince he Phoronix guy to add it to his standard set of OpenCL benchmarks. He has the hardware and a good benchmarking/reporting tool, but somebody will need to pester him to do the benchmarks right.
