virtual memory used by host main memory (RAM)

Now THAT is a very informative link. Thank you! Definitely saving that one for further digestion.

So testing with resource monitor and task manager up, I never see more than 13.1 GB committed when running hashcat. Total available memory across pagefile and RAM is currently 41.4GB, and even when manually setting pagefile size to larger arbitrary sizes does not change memory consumption.

Interestingly, the -w2 performance in question only seems to impact MD5, LM and NTLM hashes. I haven't tested MD4, but SHA2-256, luks and other slow hashes at -w4 pretty much hit their benchmarked numbers or are just under them at a negligible amount when actually cracking vs running a benchmark.

Very strange.
