Hashing is 1/6th the speed of benchmarking - level42 - 03-21-2018
So, while I wait for my Hash to get sorted out, I've been playing with HashCat.
When I run benchmarking on -m 11600, I get approximately 13,000 H/s. But when I actually try to hash a 7z hash, I get only about 3,000 H/s.
I'm using a dictionary attack, not sure if this has anything to do with it. Does a bruteforce attack preform differently?
Why else might my hashing performance only be 1/6th of my benchmarking performance?

wordlist is (almost) always slower than bf. Additionally 7zip may have been using slightly different settings. I'm not sure what kind of variables the algorithms allows.

Thanks for confirming this, I did notice a substantial improvement when I tested out a Brute Force test.
