Although it is quite obvious, but I was a newbie and I sometimes get totally lost for no obvious reason and need someone to clarify something to me so here it is put another way:
HashCat come in more than one version
Hachcat => Normal one uses the processor to crack the hash
oclHascat => One uses GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) of AMD VGA (Video Graphics Acceleration) Card which is faster and less busy with other programs running to crack the hash.
cudaHashcat => Is exactly the same as oclHashcat but it uses NVIDIA GeForce VGA Cards instead.
These programs come in command lines in both Linux and Windows Versions, so in windows you have to open CMD.exe and type in something like:
hashcat-cli64 -n 8 -m 2500 -a3 --pw-min=8 mariam-01.hccap ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l
what this does and what are those number and symbols? you have to check it out yourself and spend few hours reading the wiki section.
Good Luck
