How do you Install OpenCL™ Runtime for Intel® Core™ and Intel® Xeon® Processors

[klaus2008]

Hi!

There are Debian packages hashcat and pocl-opencl-icd. They could be installed with

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t sid install hashcat pocl-opencl-icd

Maybe this helps solving the issue.

If the program does not run on Knoppix 8.1 you could try Knoppix 8.2.

Thanks for the info klaus2008

The install codes you suggested installed without any issues, & started, but they are still complaining about the drivers not being the right ones. From the root Terminal, this is what i get:

root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix# hashcat -a 0 -d 2 -m 2500 /home/knoppix/Downloads/HASHES/HASH.hccapx /home/knoppix/password.lsthashcat (v4.1.0) starting...


Mesa (Gallium) OpenCL platform detected!


The Mesa platform can cause errors that are often mistaken for bugs in hashcat.
You are STRONGLY encouraged to use the drivers listed in docs/readme.txt.
You can use --force to override this, but do not report related errors.
You can also use --opencl-platforms to skip the Mesa platform(s).

When I use --force, this is what I get:

...and when I use --opencl-platforms, this is what I get:

Just for the hell of it, I also tried them both together... --opencl-platforms AND --force:

root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix# hashcat --force --opencl-platforms -a 0 -d 2 -m 2500 /home/knoppix/Downloads/HASHES/HASH.hccapx /home/knoppix/password.lst

So... I think that because the video card is so old (AMD Radeon HD 6450), & also the CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo), that they need the exact driver that they suggest, because newer technology was implemented into Video Cards, & CPUs a few years after they were made, & does not work with older stuff.

I downloaded Knoppix 8.2, & will try it on that as well. I was going to try to get Knoppix 8.1 to match my Kali USB environment, but decided not to, because Kali is not smooth, & stable like Knoppix is, & it hangs all the time... not for long, but it hangs alot. Also, Knoppix is perfectly hacked together from multiple Distro styles, & upgrading any part of it, would most likely break other parts. Knoppix is still "King of The Hill" in my eyes.

I will let you know the results of testing on Knoppix 8.2.

Thanks again.
