oclhashcat resume question - ViLeGlyph - 01-05-2015
Is there a way to pause the current operation on one pc and then pick it up on another?
i'm looking for something like a save file so that i can boot into a different partition and keep going with that save file.

Seems that what you are looking for is the
--restore
option of oclHashcat.
If you copy the *.restore file to the other system it should work (given that you have also the hash list / word list / rules etc mirrored/copied on the 2nd PC).

perfect! what i did was [p] (pause)
then i hit [q] (quit)
afterwards using a
Code:
./oclHashcat64.bin --restorefile location is in the root directory of your hashcat folder. the filename is "oclHashcat.restore"
RE: oclhashcat resume question - philsmd - 01-05-2015
yeah, more strictly speaking the name of the .restore file depends on the current session name (which you can set with the --session parameter, default session name for oclHashcat is "oclHashcat"; for cudaHashcat it is "cudaHashcat"). Hence it is oclHashcat.restore in your case, but can be changed easily
Glad it worked.
