Hello everyone,

I'm new to this stuff but I have a basic knowledge so I knew I was good enough to start. I'm currently using Windows 10 with cudaHashcat. I'm currently into hacking WPA WPA-2. I had a query that when I use cuda without charging my GPU speed shows 13300H/s but as soon as I plug my charger speed increases to 30700+H/s. What could be the cure for it?

My Laptop Specifications: I7-8GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce 840M

Secondly, it would be generous of someone who could provide me a link of proper installation guide of Nvidia driver in The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) linux.

Are there any other methods for increasing speed? I tried using -w 3 but I don't sense any difference. Also which one would be better for cudaHashcat, The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) or Windows 10?

I'm not entirely sure but my guess would be that your Laptops Battery cant provide enough power for all parts of the device + the GPU at full load and therefore it gets throttled.

Sure, stop cracking on a laptop.

There shouldnt be a difference in cracking speed between Linux or Windows, since you crack on the Hardware not the OS, if I remember correctly. But since you asked about a installation guide of Nvidia driver in The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) I would suggest you to use Windows and learn Linux basics before you start cracking on it
