Number of CPU Cores used by hashcat process in Linux - liquidcool76 - 06-08-2023
Hi All,
I am using hashcat in Linux.
I am using the GPUs I have in there to do the cracking, but what I have noticed is that the hashcat process is pegged to only one CPU core, and it is always running at 100%. I have 6 cores on the processor and would like the process to use all the cores.
Just to be clear I don't want hashcat using the CPU for cracking, this is purely the hashcat process that is running at 100% on one core.
Thanks

It's probably feeding data from wordlist or generating it. I think it's single core process, that's why it uses 100%.
