You shouldn't underestimate how slow it is to read from disk compared to e.g. generating the password candidates with rule/mask engine directly on GPU (fast hashes).

You have mentioned that incase of mask engine, then the password generation is it done by the GPU and not done by the CPU , but according to hashcat site https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=bru...s_original , it clearly mention that the password generation incase of mask attack is done by the CPU and then copied to the GPU through the PCI... could you please correct me if i am wrong ?
Incase of mask attack ? where is the passwords generated ? CPU or GPU ?
Second question, what is faster ?
Example1: hashcat -m 2500 hash.hccapx -a3 -?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d -w3
Example2: mp64 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d | hashcat-m 2500 bla.hccap
some times the mask attack is done by hashcat as example1 and some time it is done through piping like example2. what is the better and faster ?
Thank you.
