question about hashcat speed slow?
#1
I google searched many place and people's talk and conclusion was that hashcat is fastest at password cracking which is why I am here now.

on my other thread I have questions on how to use commands and stuff but to crack a .7z password command I used is this:

"hashcat64.exe -m 11600 -a 3 hash.txt"

this brute force 7zip archive for all character combination lower/upper case, digits + special char I assume? I get about ~5500 h/s

however I use another software called parallel password recovery for 7z file which disabling cpu and only using GPU, I can get about average 9500 pw/s.

how is this software almost twice as fast and how can I improve hashcat performance? one thing I did notice is that if I use hashcat even though GPU almost always between 98-99% usage, I can still play game, browse or watch video. where as parallel password recovery its average also 99% but everything I do graphic related lags meaning GPU is really stressed.

how can I improve performance in hashcat?
