hashcat multiprocessor - ysw - 05-09-2024
I wonder if Hashcat can work in a multiprocessor environment and can you tell me what I need to do to run it in MP environment?

By default, Hashcat wants to be GPU-accelerated so ideally, you'd only run it on a GPU, if present. They're often a factor or two faster than even top-end CPUs. If you really want to use CPUs, you can install the Intel OpenCL Runtime and use `-D 1` in your command. "-D" selecting the device type (CPU/GPU) and "1" meaning "Select CPUs"
