I want to measure the performance (speed) of the Hashcat module

[ysw]

The -b flag gives you a benchmark speed you can go off. For example: hashcat -m 0 -b. Using -w will turn off the default to the optimised kernels, so you can do "hashcat -m 0 -b -w 4" for pure and "hashcat -m 0 -b -w 4 -O" for optimised

What I mean is, I want to measure how long it takes to run the algorithm once
I understand that Hashcat's speed measurement involves generating a hash and comparing it to the value to be decrypted
What I want to know is how long it takes to generate one hash, excluding comparisons
Am I doing something wrong? Please tell me if I'm wrong
If what I'm thinking is correct, I'll have to write my own code to measure the time, but it seems like the run_kernel function in hashcat's backend.c actually calls the module's cl code
If you write code that measures the time and print the output, and then run the mode, you can measure the time it takes to generate the hash, right?

Is there another way?
