"Meriken's Tripcode Engine" is a cross-platform application designed to generate custom/vanity tripcodes at maximum speed. It is arguably the fastest and most powerful program of its kind. It makes effective use of available computing power of CPUs and GPUs, and the user can specify flexible regex patterns for desired tripcodes. It features highly optimized, extensively parallelized implementations of bitslice DES and SHA-1 for OpenCL, AMD GCN, NVIDIA CUDA, and Intel SSE2/AVX/AVX2, as well as generic, architecture-agnostic implementations of these cryptographic functions in C++, allowing the application to run both on a high-end, multi-GPU system and Raspberry Pi.

1: NVIDIA Display Driver Version 362.61 or later is required if you are using an NVIDIA video card.
2: NVIDIA Display Driver Version 352.78 or later is required if you are using an NVIDIA video card.
Here are actual speeds the author achieved with this tripcode generator:
- AMD Radeon HD 7990 1022MH/s (descrypt; 1250mV +20% 1180MHz)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 996MH/s (descrypt; 110% +250MHz)
- AMD Radeon HD 290X 647M tripcode/s (descrypt; +100mV +50% 1074MHz)
- AMD Radeon HD 7970 408M tripcode/s (descrypt; 1000MHz)
Currently MTY CL is the only practical alternative to this program, and this program runs much faster than MTY CL in most cases as the folowing benchmarks show:
Meriken's Tripcode Engine 2.0.6: 427M tripcode/s
MTY CL 0.52: 285M tripcode/s
Tripcode Explorer: 16M tripcode/s
Hardware and Software Configuration:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 Professional
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.5GHz
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 @ 1060MHz
Display Driver: AMD Catalyst 15.7.1
Target Pattern: ^TEST//
I would really appreciate donations as it is quite expensive to keep buying hardware for testing. I am also working on the English version of my tripcode search service and would like to add more servers.

- AMD Radeon HD 5xxx or later
- Equivalent AMD APUs
- CUDA-enabled NVIDIA video card with compute capability of 2.0 or higher3
Note: Intel HD Graphics Series is not supported as it is too slow and older versions of Intel OpenCL drivers are too buggy.
You need the following tools to build Meriken's Tripcode Engine.
- Visual Studio 2015 Community
- CUDA Toolkit 8.0
- AMD APP SDK 3.0
- YASM 1.2.0 (Do not use YASM 1.3.0!)
I recommend that the source archive be extracted at the root of a drive and that the environment variable PreferredToolArchitecture be set to x64 on 64-bit operating systems. This program uses Boost 1.61.0 and Boost.Process 0.5. Make sure to extract BoostPackages/boost_1_61_0.7z and run BoostPackages/BuildBoostForVisualStudio.bat before building VisualStudio/MerikensTripcodeEngine.sln.
There are several configurations. If you are using a 64-bit operating system, you need to build both 32-bit and 64-bit executables. Please note that NVIDIA-optimized versions take extremely long time to build.
You need the following software installed in order to run the application:
- AMD Radeon Desktop Video Card Driver (if you are using an AMD graphics card)
- NVIDIA Display Driver Version 362.61 or later (if you are using an NVIDIA graphics card)
Specify search patterns in patterns.txt and run either
MerikensTripcodeEngine.exe, if you are using a 32-bit operating system, or
MerikensTripcodeEngine64.exe, if you are using a 64-bit operating system.
Matching tripcodes will be displayed and saved in tripcodes.txt. See "Example of 'patterns.txt'" and "Options" below.
Alternatively, you can extract one of the NVIDIA-optimized versions in MerikensTripcodeEngine64_NVIDIA.7z and use it instead if you are using an NVIDIA video card with the compute capability of 5.0 or greater on a 64-bit operating system. Please note that these binaries are exremely huge.
You should be able to build and run this application on any POSIX-compliant operating systems. You need the following tools to build Meriken's Tripcode Engine.
- C++11-compliant compiler (g++-4.8 or later/clang++-3.5 or later; g++ is recommended.)
- OpenCL 1.2 SDK such as AMD APP SDK and NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit (if you are using an AMD/NVIDIA video card.)
- CUDA Toolkit 7.5+ (optional for optimal performance if you are using an NVIDIA video card.)
You should be able to build and install everything by running ./BuildAll.sh --install. You can specify the following options for BuildAll.sh:
- --with-toolset=gcc
- --with-toolset=clang
- --enable-cuda
- --disable-cuda
- --enable-opencl
- --disable-opencl
- --enable-cuda-des-multiple-kernels-mode
- --english-version
- --japanese-version
- --run-tests
- --install
- --rebuild
Please note that NVIDIA-optimized versions (--enable-cuda-des-multiple-kernels-mode) take extremely long time to build.
The easiest way is to download the application from my PPA without CUDA support:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:meriken/ppa
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install merikens-tripcode-engine
If you are using the 64-bit version of the OS, you can use the CUDA-compatible package instead:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:meriken/ppa
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install merikens-tripcode-engine-cuda
For optimal performance with NVIDIA video cards, however, you need to build the application yourself.
$ git clone https://github.com/meriken/merikens-tripcode-engine-v3
$ cd merikens-tripcode-engine-v3
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit gcc-4.9 g++-4.9 p7zip-full libbz2-dev python2.7-dev mesa-common-dev
$ ./BuildAll.sh --enable-cuda-des-multiple-kernels-mode --install
Unfortunately, AMD Proprietary (fglrx) Driver is not available for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, so you cannot use AMD video cards with this application. If you would like to use an AMD graphics card, please stick to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
The only differences from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS are that the merikens-tripcode-engine-cuda package is not available and that you have to install CUDA Toolkit 7.5+ manually if you want to build the application with CUDA support.
$ git clone https://github.com/meriken/merikens-tripcode-engine-v3
$ cd merikens-tripcode-engine-v3
(Install CUDA Toolkit...)
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install p7zip-full libbz2-dev python2.7-dev mesa-common-dev
$ ./BuildAll.sh --install
You can download the application from the AUR. OpenCL support is enabled by default, but you need to install CUDA Toolkit 7.5 or later manually for CUDA support.
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/merikens-tripcode-engine-v3-git.git
$ cd merikens-tripcode-engine-v3-git
$ makepkg -si
You need to build the application with GCC.
$ git clone https://github.com/meriken/merikens-tripcode-engine-v3
$ cd merikens-tripcode-engine-v3
$ sudo pkg install gcc
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/gcc48"
$ sudo pkg install p7zip
$ ./BuildAll.sh --with-toolset=gcc --install
Please install Homebrew first if you want to follow these instructions.
$ git clone https://github.com/meriken/merikens-tripcode-engine-v3
$ cd merikens-tripcode-engine-v3
$ brew install p7zip
$ ./BuildAll.sh --install
You need the following software installed in order to run the application:
- AMD Proprietary Linux Graphics Driver (if you are using an AMD graphics card)
- NVIDIA Display Driver Version 352.78 or later (if you are using an NVIDIA graphics card)
Specify search patterns in patterns.txt and run MerikensTripcodeEngine.
Matching tripcodes will be displayed and saved in tripcodes.txt.
