Hi! First of all i want to say thanks atom for your works.
hashcat is great, because its only loaded my system over 50% but i have problems =(

System: Intel EX4830 x4 (64core), 32Gb ram, etc...
1. Hashcat can use only 32 threads, and its working only under 50% at my system. When i`m trying to set more than 32 threads there is error.
2. with maximal settings results only under 99.9M(brute-force)

What can i do to get more faster recovering?

hashcat is not optimized for brute force, but oclHashcat-lite is. that is because even with 64 high speed cpus you can not beat home computer with single hd6990 gpu.

Why does hashcat only support 32 threads? I also have a 64-core machine at my disposal, but rather than brute force, I plan on trying some dictionary attacks on MD4's with some huge (terabyte) dictionaries I've been generating.
