Start at specific word in list? - twostep - 06-05-2017
Can you tell hashcat to start at a specific word in the wordlist? I've been searching around for a way to do this and can't find anything. The reason I want to do this rather than using --restore option is I want to be able to quit from a cracking session, change the parameters, and resume where I've left off.
For instance I'm currently running this command:
Code:
hashcat64 --stdout -a 6 wlist.txt ?d?d?d | hashcat64 -m 2500 file.hccapx -w 3 --statusI want to try and replace it with this one to see if my performance improves:
Code:
hashcat64 -m 2500 -a 1 -w 3 file.hccapx wlist.txt numbers_3.txtIt would be great if I could tell hashcat to start at word xxxxxxxxxxxxx123.
Also, what will happen if I use --restore from my first command? Will it launch the left and right sides of the pipe? Or would I have to put --restore only on the right side? I'm worried if I quit I will lose all my progress.
Thanks for any help. My first post here.

You can use -s to set the base word from where to start

Thank you. I'll give it a try.
Did you see my question about how to use --restore with a --stdout piped hashcat command at the bottom. The power went out here and lost 24 hours of progress, not sure which word I was on.

Thanks again atom. I was able to use the -s option. For anyone trying this out, -s must be a number. It is the line number of the word you want to continue on.
