I have just installed version 5.1.0 on Kubuntu 16.04 and I just dont have a clue how to use it. I've tried watching THIS video from YouTube but I am at a loss at what to do. It's a case of information overload. I just don't know where to start.I just want to do a simple test for passwords but don't know what commands to use.
Anyway, while looking around for a clue on how to start, I came across this command, '-b', so I typed it in;
And I got this;
hashcat (v5.1.0) starting in benchmark mode...
Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default.
You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option.
Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length.
To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.

I know enough to know that something's not right, but don't know how to fix it.
My system;
MoBo: ASUS M5a78l-USB3
CPU: AMD PhenonII X4 965
GPU: NO ONBOARD GPU
AMD RS780 (DRM 2.50.0/4.15.0-70-generic, LLVM 6.0.0)
OpenGL version 3.0 Mesa 18.0.5
RAM: 32Gb
OMG! After looking at the website with my GPU specs, I'm in complete shock as I never knew it was THAT old. Could be one reason why the benchmark test failed, I'll be looking into what GFX card I can get to update my system (It may also help my other problem I'm having with OBS).
If anyone can help me run through some stuff to see if it's anything else besides/other than the GPU, I'd appreciate it.
