Hashcat on AMD CPU after AMD dropped OpenCL support
#1
Hi peeps, 

I just got my new CPU and wanted to stress test it a little bit by cracking some passwords. However when I try to do that, it just selects my GPU. So I list the available devices and find the following output:
Code:
hashcat (v6.1.1) starting... * Device #1: CUDA SDK Toolkit installation NOT detected.             CUDA SDK Toolkit installation required for proper device support and utilization             Falling back to OpenCL Runtime OpenCL Info: ============ OpenCL Platform ID #1   Vendor..: NVIDIA Corporation   Name....: NVIDIA CUDA   Version.: OpenCL 1.2 CUDA 11.1.106   Backend Device ID #1     Type...........: GPU     Vendor.ID......: 32     Vendor.........: NVIDIA Corporation     Name...........: GeForce GTX 970     Version........: OpenCL 1.2 CUDA     Processor(s)...: 13     Clock..........: 1253     Memory.Total...: 4096 MB (limited to 1024 MB allocatable in one block)     Memory.Free....: 3328 MB     OpenCL.Version.: OpenCL C 1.2     Driver.Version.: 457.09

Aside from CUDA not being installed (which you can ignore, it doesn't matter right now I think), it doesn't even list my CPU. Now my CPU is an AMD Threadripper 3960x and I read somewhere online how AMD has dropped OpenCL support for their CPUs. :/ 
Is there any way to still use my CPU for hashcat, with or without OpenCL?
