hashcat Forum

Hi there,

Running The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) 2018.2, 64bit (Standalone OS, not VM) with latest hashcat 4.1.0.
Nvidia GTX 960 and Intel OpenCL Runtime are installed.

When run Hastcat it show 3 devices:
penCL Platform #1: NVIDIA Corporation
======================================
* Device #1: GeForce GTX 960, 492/1968 MB allocatable, 8MCU
OpenCL Platform #2: Intel(R) Corporation

========================================
* Device #2: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 8MCU.

OpenCL Platform #3: The pocl project
====================================
* Device #3: pthread-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz, skipped.


Device#3 OpenCL Platform #3: The pocl project is always skipped. is there any way to either get this to work or completly disable this so that there is no warning:
* Device #3: Not a native Intel OpenCL runtime. Expect massive speed loss.
You can use --force to override, but do not report related errors.

Thanks,

-D 1,2

Thanks Lars, But i did try -D 1,2  and also -D 1, -D 2, --opencl-platforms=1,2 but it still show up as Device#3 along with the same warning message.

Any other suggestions ?

If you have Intel OpenCL runtime then pocl will be disabled because its slower and more unstable. If you want to try out pocl remove the Intel OpenCL runtime and then use -D 1,2

Thanks Atom, Yes i do have OpenCL and it's working fine. I dont want to use/try POCL, i just want to disable it so that it doesn't appear on the top like:
OpenCL Platform #3: The pocl project
====================================
* Device #3: pthread-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz, skipped.

It's not causing any issues (Just curious if i can hide it)

you can (probably) uninstall pocl
