Configuring checkpoint timer to save progress - sherlock - 03-17-2026
Can someone please help me understand how to use checkpoint timers to save progress so that i can continue to run from the previous checkpoint after closing the program.
I am new to using Hashcat and I tried to find something like a syntax or keywords guide, but couldn't find anything helpful. Thank you for reading this.

Hi I am also new, but I know that you can use the: --session myseesion.txt , variable and that will periodically save your work. Next time you just need to run your command with the command:
hashcat --session session_name --restore
