Hashcat and oclHashcat have gone open source
I've tried hashcat before, but does anyone know if oclHashcat works on Intel GPUs? Specifically the Iris Pro 5200?

Theoretically yes (Intel does support OpenCL in their iGPU drivers), but performance will be mediocre at best. Faster than CPU hashing though.

I assume the OCL means OpenCL, in which case yes, Intel OpenCL support is very good (figures, since they have no GPGPU api of their own).

If you're seriously interested in GPU acceleration, any reason not to spend $150 on a GTX 950 and get ~5x the performance of your Iris Pro 5200?

I'm just playing around with it for fun, not doing anything particularly important. Also, I don't think I can connect a GPU to my Macbook Pro :(

Sure. And it's a no go on a laptop. Though you can probably get a ~5 year old desktop with PCIe for basically free if you ask around friends and relatives. If you ssh into it, no need for a monitor either.

Meh. That's a bit too much work for me.

Well, with Thunderbolt enclosures, you _could_...
