Hashcat save/restore - Citadel - 09-08-2020
Hi all.
I'm having a bit of an issue with hashcat that I can't figure out. How do I save a session, so I can safely close my The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) machine? the only way I seem to be able to stop is by pressing CTRL + C
I'm using a line similar to the one below, piping in crunch.
crunch 8 8 abc123 | hashcat --session test_sesh -a 0 -m 2500 -o output_test test.hccapx
And restoring with
crunch 8 8 abc123 | hashcat --session test_sesh --restore
But it always seems to restore to a lot earlier in the session than when I exited?
Cheers for any help in advance.

best solution is to not use crunch:
Code:
hashcat -m 2500 -a 3 -o output_test -2 abc123 test.hccapx ?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2RE: Hashcat save/restore - Citadel - 09-08-2020

That test code was just for observation, the actual crunch I'm using is almost the entire alphabet which would mean having 1TB storage for the word list. ;(

My suggestion still makes sense, hashcat has built-in support for masks:

you do not need to use crunch and you do not need to use any word list, just use the mask attack.
