you need an hccap file to benchmark, no way around that.
the ETA is how long it will take to exhaust the entire keyspace at the current speed. it does not mean it will take that long to crack the hash, nor does it guarantee the hash will be found within that timeframe. it's just a simple "charset^length / speed" equation.
if you want an official benchmark, use http://bindshell.nl/pub/hashcat-benchmark.sh
with this script, the hccap needs to be named 'test.hccap'
