hashcat Forum

Hello there,

Can some one tell me why my wpa speed slow's down about 30sec after starting. Just bought my new pc last week.

Need more info, there is no statistics regarding your temps in the status output, nor the command line being entered.

Also you're using a 3rd party GUI which is not directly associated with Hashcat. It's easy enough to learn to use hashcat independently just reading thru the wiki y'know.

Hello Slyexe ,

You have 67 handshakes in one hccapx. Clean it out to one only. Don’t use tools like wpaclean. .
