Subject: Re: What do you recommend as a laptop cracking station? :)
I've been thinking about a new system for myself, also. What spells Xmas like crushing credit card debt, after all. :-)
Not having my own system newer than a 10 year old workstation, I'm using a work-supplied laptop (Dell E6410, i5, 8GB RAM, SAMSUNG SSD 830) for cracking. It's hardly the sort of thing to brag about. Indeed, heat is my biggest enemy. I've long since blown out the heat sink / fan on this loser. It only manages to keep limping along with the USB powered laptop cooler attached. I suspect the same would be true for other laptops as well. My next company supplied laptop will be a Lenovo, though not a y580 (sadly).
It may be worthwhile to compare numbers to get an idea of what the latest, greatest laptop hardware vs. an older model buys one. Incidentally, I'm using Pentoo from portage overlay (not the live builds), but updated more or less daily. The latest available (test) build from Gentoo for john is "1.7.9-r5", though john reports somewhat differently.
Strangely enough, this system outperforms the Lenovo y580 on the CPU (not CUDA, obviously) benchmarks for M$ Cache Hash MD4 and NTLMv2 C/R MD4 HMAC-MD5 runs. Odd, what? I didn't see additional hardware details like RAM and SSD vs. HDD mentioned, but those will obviously have some impact on overall performance. On the other hand, they're "just" benchmarks so have to be viewed with some distrust, anyway.

Using latest unstable build from git (ver: 1.7.9-jumbo-7+unstable_omp [linux-x86-64i]), the results are comparable, except now my i5 outperforms the y580 CPU on the M$ Cache Hash 2 (DCC2) PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA-1 run also.

My personal interest of the moment (and the past 12 months or so) is with Lotus Domino unsalted and salted hashes.
Benchmarking: Lotus Notes/Domino 6 More Secure Internet Password [8/64]... DONE
Many salts: 117593 c/s real, 117593 c/s virtual
Only one salt: 69995 c/s real, 69995 c/s virtual
Benchmarking: Lotus Notes/Domino 5 [8/64]... (4xOMP) DONE
Raw: 594432 c/s real, 148608 c/s virtual
I'd like to see benchmark results for these two hash format and hardware info from other platforms, if anyone is willing to oblige.
Thanks!

Basically you look at gaming laptops and read the specs of the nvidia
card it has ;)
While laptop is not a perfect choice for cracking passwords, if you need
new laptop I totally understand why you want a tool that can be used
*when really needed* to crack passwords. I'm on the same boat, and just
two weeks ago got myself lenovo y580. Pretty cheap beast with i7-3610QM
and nvidia gtx 660m. If you're interrested, little test:

I think it's totally acceptable for everyday cracking ... or it will
tell you laptop isn't good after all ;)
This laptop is what I really recommend, great quality, decent price and
beast of a power. If you need a benchmark of any other particular hash
let me know.
