Not making progress [Bug?]

[elbiot]

Hello,

Thanks for the great software. I do have a problem though.

I'm using cudaHashcat-plus64.bin from olcHashcat-plusv0.15, doing a hybrid attack (dictionary and mask file). It was making progress for a while. This is not a dedicated machine so I've had to stop and restore the session a few times. At some point, I noticed that the time to complete the current mask kept increasing. 4 days to 6 days to now 11 days. The H/s hasn't changed, but then I finally noticed that the % complete number isn't changing.

Maybe the session was terminated once by the computer going to sleep or something. I didn't notice the % completed not increasing for a while, so I don't know when it stopped working.

This is what the status looks like:

Session.Name...: alted
Status.........: Running
Input.Base.....: File (./test1/nodupes.lst)
Input.Mod......: Mask (?d?d?1?1) [4]
Hash.Target....: File (./test1/passes.txt)
Hash.Type......: phpass, MD5(Wordpress), MD5(phpBB3)
Time.Started...: Thu Nov 14 07:54:56 2013 (1 day, 18 hours)
Time.Estimated.: Thu Nov 28 18:05:17 2013 (14 days, 10 hours)
Speed.GPU.#1...: 14278 H/s
Recovered......: 0/2 (0.00%) Digests, 0/2 (0.00%) Salts
Progress.......: 1321411000/11288524000 (11.71%)
Rejected.......: 0/1321411000 (0.00%)
HWMon.GPU.#1...: -1% Util, 60c Temp, -1% Fan

Sucks to lose that time, and I'm a little concerned that it will happend again now that I've started over. Any ideas why the the H/s says something is happening but no progress is being made? Is this a bug? Is there something I can do to be sure this doesn't happen in the future?

It's still happening:

Session.Name...: alted1
Status.........: Running
Input.Base.....: File (./test1/nodupes.lst)
Input.Mod......: Mask (?d?d?1?1) [4]
Hash.Target....: File (./test1/passes.txt)
Hash.Type......: phpass, MD5(Wordpress), MD5(phpBB3)
Time.Started...: Thu Nov 14 12:31:55 2013 (2 hours, 40 mins)
Time.Estimated.: Wed Nov 27 13:05:19 2013 (12 days, 22 hours)
Speed.GPU.#1...: 14422 H/s
Recovered......: 0/2 (0.00%) Digests, 0/2 (0.00%) Salts
Progress.......: 98797400/11288524000 (0.88%)
Rejected.......: 0/98797400 (0.00%)
HWMon.GPU.#1...: -1% Util, 73c Temp, -1% Fan


Then, 4 minutes later:

Session.Name...: alted1
Status.........: Running
Input.Base.....: File (./test1/nodupes.lst)
Input.Mod......: Mask (?d?d?1?1) [4]
Hash.Target....: File (./test1/passes.txt)
Hash.Type......: phpass, MD5(Wordpress), MD5(phpBB3)
Time.Started...: Thu Nov 14 12:31:55 2013 (2 hours, 44 mins)
Time.Estimated.: Thu Nov 28 23:41:24 2013 (14 days, 9 hours)
Speed.GPU.#1...: 14444 H/s
Recovered......: 0/2 (0.00%) Digests, 0/2 (0.00%) Salts
Progress.......: 98797400/11288524000 (0.88%)
Rejected.......: 0/98797400 (0.00%)
HWMon.GPU.#1...: -1% Util, 77c Temp, -1% Fan

The time since started has progressed, the H/s is non zero, but the progress (98797400/11288524000) is unchanged, and the estimated time of completion is increasing.

No ideas then?

I can reproduce this on b19 with oclhashcat and cudahashcat both on windows7 64 bit.
