Using hashcat's a3 mode is always better than using mp if you don't need any special features of mp.
Ok... so I understand from your answer that when using hashcat mask engine such as "hashcat -a3" then it use the GPU to generate the passwords while if I used the MP64 or Princeprocessor then it use the CPU and Not GPU. Please confirm my understanding. (Although I didnot find on hashcat wiki that hashcat buildin mask attack uses GPU)
Incase yes, then what considered faster in terms of h/s ? Mask engine attack or rule attack? Since both are processed by the GPU.
Thank you.
