Performance
#1
Hello guys, I'm running Hashcat CPU on an 24 core opteron. I've used --threads=32 because that's the max number but the maximum amount of speed I'm getting is: Speed/sec.: - plains, 50.82M words

The CPU usage doesn't even go past 10% on each core. Is there a way to increment the perfomance and get better speeds?

What algo? post your command line, be more informative than your topic!

Sorry didn't think of that! my bad

Code:
./hashcat-cli32.bin -m 2611 -a 3 --threads=32 hash.txt ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l

I think, all opterons are 64bit. So, why are you using 32bit binary ?

It's an i686, should i try with 64 bits?

Your OS is i686 ? Well, tell us, what CPU it is.

It's linux 32 bit.

Sorry I made a mistake on the CPU, this one is different. Its:

24 GenuineIntel Intel Xeon CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz Cache: 12288 KB

Try on a 64bit OS. Also, you have 6 cores with 12 threads, try with threads set to 12.

Processor Intel Xeon X5650 @ 2.79 GHz
2 processors, 24 cores

I'm not understanding..

Intel Xeon X5650: 6 cores, 12 threads. To sum up, you have two 64bit CPUs with total amount of 12 cores and 24 threads. So, install x86_64 system and use hashcat-cli64 binary with 24 threads.
