Hashcat slow i think

[ack00]

First update hashcat to v6.2.5

Secondly, the test mode will not give you the results of the full power of your equipment. You have to use hashcat on real hashes

Here's hashcat on real hashes:

Session..........: hashcat

a plain wordlist-attack is always slow, try adding rules, like

Code:

-r dive.rule

and you will see increased speed as rules are applied on directly on the gpu

Here's what i got:
