By default, the script uses the unoptimised kernels, by adding -O to:

command = f"cd {config['hashcat_folder']} && {config['hashcat_exe_name']} -a 0 -m {possible_type} {hash_formatted} {config['wordlist']}"

It should get an easy and free speed increase with the only draw back of a slightly reduced max plain length, typically from 255 to 32 characters

> hashcat -m 0 -w 4 -b --quiet
