Splitting Brute into different computers - hashcatlover - 02-16-2024
Hi, everybody. I have a question. Can I split the Brute process to different computers? Or at least split the Brute dictionary into parts and run it

using multiple computers would require a 3rd party app such as https://github.com/hashtopolis/server, or if you're just wanting to resume an attack as long as you haven't started another you can simply use the --restore parameter to continue your attack where you left off.
There is always the option of changing the default attack type (not mode) from markov to in order by using --markov-disable which would do an attack in a strict order from 0-X however long your bruteforce is set to. To resume the attack at that specific point in time or to say run 2 attacks you could start the attack halfway on the other PC using --skip X where as X is your halfway point value. Hopefully this helps answer some questions.
