Spectre/Meltdown patch a prob? - dTest - 08-02-2018
Did a quick search and came up blank.
But does the Spectre/meltdown patches effect cracking speeds?
I've heard performance hits all over the place (5%-30%)
Ubuntu server 16.04.4 lts

For GPU cracking definitely not. For CPU cracking, very likely not. You mostly lose performance when doing IO, which hashcat avoids as much as possible.
