Wpa/Wpa2 dictionary attack is very slow after the latest update

You may want to try with -w 3 or -w 4... dunno how the optimized kernels will perform on old cards like those.

Code:

hashcat -m 2500 cap.hccapx dictionary.txt -w 3

or -w 4

Or try adding -O for optimized kernels, I don't recall if optimized kernels are used by default in an actual run, though they are in a benchmark.

Code:

hashcat --session hashcat --restore -w 4 -O

Speed is the same... It was about 16000 H/s but....

Speed.Dev.#2.....: 3080 H/s (9.86ms) @ Accel:8 Loops:2 Thr:512 Vec:1
Speed.Dev.#3.....: 3906 H/s (7.60ms) @ Accel:16 Loops:4 Thr:1024 Vec:1
Speed.Dev.#*.....: 6985 H/s
