Hash Details, Points, and Counts
Below is the full list of hash types used in this year's contest, the point value of each crack for those hashes, and how many were in each of the Pro and Street set. Note that Pro vs Street were different, but generated using similar means (wordlists, rules, etc).
Although it is generally true that harder hashes are worth more points, they are deliberately not perfectly proportional. Figure out how to game the scores and focus your efforts accordingly.
