I am new to using ashcat and I have just downloaded the latest version of hashcat. I just wanted to ask what would be the best configurations that would make hash decryption fastest.

The Configurations I'm asking for:

CPU Threads
Segments

My Processor :

Intel Dual-Core E2140 1.6GhZ

in theory avx2 based cpu, but hashcat does not yet support avx2 since the compilers we use do not support avx2.

the Pentium Dual-Core E2140 is an old 65nm Allendale circa 2007, it does not support AVX2. doesn't support HT, either. so just hashcat-cli64.bin -n 2

But I have used hashcat on this Computer and it brute-forces NTLM hashes at the speed of approx 6.3M/s tries.

it doesn't mean it will not work. it just means it can't taky usage of some accelerating instructions.
