Nitpick: You don't need quotes around URLs.

For someone not in the know, why not just have version 3? |
|
Version 3 isn't backwards compatible with version 2, so I figured creating a new package would be the safest option. On the other hand, I can't see any downsides of upgrading to version 3, so maybe replacing the version 2 package is a better idea. |
|
Version 3 is also problematic, because it depends on OpenCL: see #16623 |
|
@kierdavis Travis reports a hash mismatch |
|
@Mic92 thanks for digging that up. Looks like it's probably best to keep hashcat2 around until OpenCL on NixOS is more portable. @joachifm looks like hashcat 3.20 has been released in the meantime, and the URL |

Thank you |
Motivation for this change
We already have a 'hashcat', but it's at version 2.x, which is incompatible with hashcat 3.x.
Things done
(nix.useSandbox on NixOS,
or option
build-use-sandboxinnix.confon non-NixOS)
nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"./result/bin/)This builds and runs on my machines, but I'm not yet convinced that it's portable. I'd be grateful if a couple other people could test that this package builds and that running
result/bin/hashcat -bstarts the benchmark running on at least one device (CPU, GPU, APU etc).
