Discrepancy between Benchmark numbers and actual numbers

[philsmd]

stdin/pipe only works with -a 0

therefore the command:

Code:

hashcat64.exe --stdout d:\wordlists\rockyou.txt -r rules\best64.rule| hashcat64.exe -m1000 -a3 d:\hashlists\Random\test.txt -O --status --status-timer=2

is the same as just the right site

Code:

hashcat64.exe -m1000 -a3 d:\hashlists\Random\test.txt -O --status --status-timer=2

well, if -w 2 is faster than -w 3 / -w 4 it might be indeed a problem with your setup. maybe way too little RAM for your system.

Did you try increasing the pagefile/swap to a very large file size ? e.g. additional 32 GB etc
