Hashview Agent on Windows

[nicbrink]

This may not be the right place for this, but I was able to get the Hashview-agent to run on Windows with surprisingly little effort.

Here are the directions I put together:

Install Intel CL Drivers:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-drivers#latest_CPU_runtime

Install AMD Catalyst Drivers:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx

Install HashCat:
https://hashcat.net/hashcat/
#Note: I installed it to d:\opt\hashcat

Test Hashcat:
hashcat64.exe -m 1000 -b

Install Git:
#Note this is for two reasons, one to pull the agent, but more importantly it comes with mingw64
#Use Option 3, Git and optional Unix tools from the windows command prompt

Download Hash-view Agent:
git clone https://github.com/hashview/hashview-agent.git

Download and install Ruby:
https://dl.bintray.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/rubyinstaller-2.2.2-x64.exe
#Note check the add ruby to the system path option

#Update the Certificate using this link - There is an issue with ruby and windows regarding SSL certificates, I had to manually update the cert to install gems
http://guides.rubygems.org/ssl-certificate-update/#manual-solution-to-ssl-issue

Install Bundler:
gem install bundler

#Change directory to hashview
bundle install
#Ignore the JSON error, or remove the JSON entry from the Gemfile since ruby has the JSON gem already

#Note: if git did not add its linux tools to the path, do so now
PATH=%path%;d:\opt\git\usr\bin\

Provision:
set RACK_ENV=production
rake provision_remote_agent

Edit the config file:
{
"master_ip": "10.1.1.1",
"port": "4567",
"uuid": "26f8f90f-0776-44e3-85f5-27b74fd890eb",
"hc_binary_path": "d:\opt\hashcat\hashcat64.exe",
"type": "slave"
}

Running:
set RACK_ENV=production
ruby agent.rb

I get this error the first time I run it, but it seems fine after that

Dude, thats freaking awesome! Good work!

I know this isn't a supported feature but due to difficulties finding OpenCL/AMD driver combinations that deliver hashing speeds anywhere close to the advertised benchmark for RX580's on Ubuntu, I attempted to do this... when I use Hashcat on Windows my hashing speeds are about 3 times higher than Linux at the moment due to crappy drivers.

Anyway, it would be great if someone could build Windows support into the Agent too! I also get several errors, but in my case due to the Ruby version 2.2.2 being depreciated it will not start the Heartbeat... and hashview-agent is lifeless at the moment :) Will this be updated to use Ruby 2.4.4 like hashview anytime soon? Or does anyone have a tidbit of advice for getting this running in Windows 10 as it stands?

Ouch, we should upgrade that soon. It’s probably pretty easy to bump that version since the code base is so small for the agent. Change ruby ver in you gemfile. I’d do 2.4.2 for the short term. Then rvm install 2.4.2. Bundle install. and hopefully that’s all that is needed.

Jimoody: love the idea! I need this agent on windows as well. Got my 1080 founders and 1070 card in windows machines but the hashview must run on linux.

Ccammilleri: do we need to swap out ruby 2.2.2 for 2.4.2 /2.4.4 for both the installed version and the set version in the gemfile?

I tried running the install with ruby 2.4.4. Failed on the gem logger. Might be old and outdated or replced with another gem.
