A distributed hashcat implementation using Salad Cloud and Hashtopolis
SaladCat provides a convenient way to quickly scale hashcat deployments on Salad Cloud and Hashtopolis. Salad Cloud offers an affordable and efficient platform with access to a large pool of consumer-grade GPUs, making it ideal for this type of work.
- Quick deployment of hashcat on Salad Cloud
- Integration with Hashtopolis for distributed computing
- Automation scripts for easier management
- Salad Cloud Account
- Requires an initial $50 deposit to get started.
- Hashtopolis Server
- A Hashtopolis server running on any cloud service except Salad Cloud.
- For quick and easy deployment, refer to Nikita's guide.
There are two essential environment variables that need to be configured on your Salad Container Group resource:
- API_SERVER_URL
- Format:
http://<hashtopolis_server_ip>:<port>/api/server.php
- Format:
- VOUCHER
- Value: Voucher code from your Hashtopolis server.
Ensure your Hashtopolis server is configured to allow a single voucher to be used multiple times. This can be set in /config.php?view=5 under the "Vouchers can be used multiple times and will not be deleted automatically."
Two scripts are included to automate tasks:
-
create_salad_hashcat.py
- Automates the creation of a new Salad Cloud container group.
- Saves time by defining environment variables programmatically.
-
update_agents.py
- Interacts with the Hashtopolis API to configure agents as trusted and to ignore errors.
- Optionally assigns an agent to a specific task number.
- Useful for managing multiple cracking nodes for a specific task.
