Cuda, Stream, MPI and Multiforcer...

Have you heard about those GPU cracking software ? Well, we did, and here is the outcome, after hacking a bit with the code, we provide you with some nice cuda, stream and padlock pyrit versions


Althought the card is a crappy nvidia mobile, we can see that it works fine. Well, it works at least :-) but here's better perfs on my ati 4850:


The latests patches for john does it all, we can finally load those slacking cores a bit

Oh, and what does Multiforcer stands for ?

:-) this time we promise, the beta is comming soon!

Deadline approaching

There's been some sort of activity lately, and here is what's coming from it :
I moved all the services to a new server, and fixed a little bit of the web design. We're now settled to begin releasing.
I Updated our kernel to use the 2.6.28 sources along with aufs and sqlzma. Zero should be working on the wifi patches already.
We also plan on publishing our portage tree so ppl can benefit from our ebuilds and kernel sources.

We should come up with a beta release by the end of january. You can join us on irc if you want to check out alpha release and help us out.





BTW, here is what the future theme will look like

We're actually growing

Hi,

We've had a lot of troubles catching ourselves on the project, but I finally have some good and bad news.

The bad is that gentoo totally dropped unionfs from their genkernel tool.
The good is that I forked it and I've included some extra stuff:

• Moved to aufs
• Changes saving is supported from the kernel loading, before the system starts so you can completely customize it.
  
• You can create the file from within the boot-up so it's very easy to setup

That's it for the kernel/initrd generation...

People from LSO joined the project, so you can expect a really nice quality emerging from Pentoo, once it will be ready for takeoff.

Rumors, rumors... Zero told me that he's working on our custom 2.6.25 kernel...

If you want to help the project, you can catch us on irc://irc.freenode.net/#pentoo

That's it for now

Project status update

So as I said, we are _still_ working on pentoo and from the last couple of weeks, i can tell that :

- Catalyst building is working.
- Menu generation is somewhat working
- Move from unionfs to aufs is working
- I could get rid of QT (wouhou)
- There will be some very cool stuff in a future release. :)

Actually, the last test i ran made me a 563M (including portage tree!), letting some room for more tools, kernel and so on. I could even patch the kernel for lzm support but i don't feel like it need it atm.

Our new todo list

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since we updated the project so here it is :

Since Zero and me broke the base system, we have to start over from scratch for the next pentoo version. It should be done entirely with catalyst.

Meanwhile, I'm migrating the server to a new host.

We have both a lot to do in real life at the moment but we _are_ willing to continue the development so don't worry, there will be a new version coming out.

Cheers
Grimmlin

Site maintenance

Hi there,

The site will be mostly unavailable tomorrow Saturday the 18 November from 8h30 am to 11h30 am GMT+1. We have some hardware and software maintenance scheduled on our server.

BTW, we are testing the new 2006.2 fat version and we're getting closer to a release so stay tunned.

New developer and progress

Recently, Zero_Chaos from aircrack-ng teamed up with us and joined the pentoo development effort.

He is literally making the kernel happy with all the wifi drivers and patches.

So, to update the previous statement, we were sleeping but he is now here to kick our asses and push pentoo to the max...
