Mask attack with brain
#1
Curious why my mask attack slows down from a few seconds, to 15+ hours when I try to use the brain.  I"m also noticing that my candidates show the hex value instead of the actual candidate.  For example:

My command line is:

sudo hashcat -z --brain-password <pass> --brain-client-features 1 -a 3 -m 5500 -O hash.txt maskfile.mask

Without the brain here is my GPU performance on the same hash and maskfile:

Speed.#1.........:  7414.5 MH/s (18.41ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:256 Thr:896 Vec:1
Speed.#2.........:  7452.2 MH/s (18.33ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:256 Thr:896 Vec:1
Speed.#3.........:  7485.4 MH/s (18.30ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:256 Thr:896 Vec:1
Speed.#4.........:  7496.0 MH/s (18.25ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:256 Thr:896 Vec:1
Speed.#5.........:  7426.7 MH/s (18.46ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:256 Thr:896 Vec:1
Speed.#6.........:  7484.0 MH/s (18.31ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:256 Thr:896 Vec:1
Speed.#7.........:  7539.1 MH/s (18.18ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:256 Thr:896 Vec:1
Speed.#8.........:  7542.9 MH/s (18.10ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:256 Thr:896 Vec:1
Speed.#*.........: 59843.6 MH/s

And the candidates look the way I expect for the mask it's processing at the time:

Candidates.#1....: 1Ay(]IWT -> 6Zs"|FXT
Candidates.#2....: 1Ae,:UAU -> 6Zo&?RBU
Candidates.#3....: 1Ad{!DYT -> 6Zg[&AZT
Candidates.#4....: 1Ap[&AZT -> 6Zj;+XZT
Candidates.#5....: 1Ah"|FXT -> 6Zb{!DYT
Candidates.#6....: 1Ax=/OUT -> 6Za.>LVT
Candidates.#7....: 1Ai.>LVT -> 6Zl(]IWT
Candidates.#8....: 1Av;+XZT -> 6Zq+:UAU


Am I using the brain the wrong way?
