Restore.Point and --skip? - wallacebw - 06-25-2023
Question on Restore point and --skip:
So I was running a longer attack (RUN 1) using one approach while building out a more targeted dictionary. Once I had the dictionary built, I pressed (c) as the status screen for a checkpoint exit. Being an idiot, after hashcat exited after reaching the checkpoint I pressed up arrow in the terminal and changed the dictionary of the previous command and forgot to change the session name (doh) starting (RUN 2).
I have saved the output from where hashcat exited, which included the restore point
Restore.Point....: x/y (z%)
Question: if I reissue the same command used in RUN 1 adding --skip x (substituting the value in the restore point line, would this have the same effect as:
hashcat --resume --session SESSION_NAME
or are they different and I just need to rerun (RUN 1)?
Thanks,

FYI:
I happened to have Markov disabled for these runs, if it's relevant.
