CPU and GPU not being recognized on Kali

[danny2cold]

Issues with GPU, CPU on a built at home PC.


I first noticed this issue when I tried to run hashcat on my VMWare virtual machine. I receive


?error: unknown target CPU ?generic??


Device #1: Kernel /usr/share/hashcat/OpenCL/shared.cl build failed.


I am also receiving an error when I use -D2 for my GPU


cuinit(): no CUDA-capable device is detected.


???????????????????-
TLDR; Why is kali Linux not detecting my CPU or GPU? I?ve been working on this for hours and cannot find the solution.

You are in a virtual machine, so therefore you have a virtual CPU and a virtual GPU, you can allocate more cores to your virtual CPU and enabled graphics accelleration for the virtual GPU in your virtula machine software, BUT in a VM hashcat can only ever use the virtual CPU to crack hashes!
