Device Properties
The hashcat -I command displays the specifications
of our Kali system’s installed devices
and indicates OpenCL is set up properly.
The system uses pocl, which is the portable OpenCL,
an open source version of the OpenCL standard.
It is not recommended to use hashcat
for cracking with only portable OpenCL as it is very slow.
Use aircrack-ng instead.
Portable OpenCL is 4 to 15 times slower
than aircrack-ng depending on the CPU used.
However, we will use our Kali system to demonstrate hashcat’s capabilities.
