New with Hashcat

[Snoopy]

hashcat -b is benchmark mode, you can "test" your hardware and see your expected maximum hashrate (this is always my first step to see how "good" my attack is performing

try pausing your session and run

hashcat -b -m 14600 -D 1,2

in a new shell, this will benchmark on both [D]evicetypes, GPU and CPU, see output for maximum hashrates
