Number of CPU Cores used by hashcat process in Linux

[liquidcool76]

Hi All,

I am using hashcat in Linux.

I am using the GPUs I have in there to do the cracking, but what I have noticed is that the hashcat process is pegged to only one CPU core, and it is always running at 100%. I have 6 cores on the processor and would like the process to use all the cores. 

Just to be clear I don't want hashcat using the CPU for cracking, this is purely the hashcat process that is running at 100% on one core.

Thanks

It's probably feeding data from wordlist or generating it. I think it's single core process, that's why it uses 100%.
