Is it sequential? I thought it spread out the threads according to -b - t- -p numbers...I am sure it does spread out, then check sequentially. The other software is the modified vanity search and keyhunt.
Any who, I was just wandering...lol, it's been forever since I quit using bitcrack due to the errors and drivers (I would have to roll back drivers to use it). Biggest advantage to bitcrack was it allowed the use of amd cards, but even that was buggy. Bitcrack developer is a great programmer; he has made some impressive tools to pool resources for brute force and kangaroo. I would still love to get Brichard's source code for his kangaroo program!
That is exactly the operation of bitcrack, yes. There were mods by pika to introduce a genuine random search option but they don't really speed up anything - as far as finding the correct bits is concerned, its just as chaotic as searching them sequentially (chaos theory in action).
