Annoying errors in hashcat-git

[mohemiv]

Hello there,

I have noticed that hashcat-git outputs quite a lof of annoying errors.

Error 1

$ hashcat
/hashcat -b
hashcat (v6.2.6-848-gc1a10518f+) starting in benchmark mode

Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default.
You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option.
Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length.
To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.

There is no need to show me every run that devices 14-25 were skipped.

Error 2

$ hashcat -a 13100 ./user.txt --show --username
Mixing --show with --username or --dynamic-x can cause exponential delay in output.

admin:b4b9b02e6f09a9bd760f388b67351e2b

There is no need for this message.

The --username option in Hashcat was designed to improve user experience. Now, each time --username is used, Hashcat outputs a red text, treating --username as unfavorably as --force, for example.

I have not noticed any significant delays in output when using the --username option.
