Is hashcat ready to use as many cores as possible? - JimBob - 06-20-2017

I'm attempting to crack using CPU only (scrypt).  Wondering if hashcat by default will use and distribute work load across all resources in  6,8,12 or 20  core CPU's without any tuning or additional drivers..

yes but cpu cracking is slow,.. why not with gpu?

Because scrypt.

And yes, it will use all cores.
