hi,
I have a few questions about the recent feature added in oclHashcat-plus, the restore session feature.
1. If I start an attack with a session name "MD5" like this:
oclhashcat-plus32.exe -m 0 -n 400 --session=MD5 -a 0 md5.txt dict.txt
then I abort the attack by pressing "q".
all the details related to the status are stored in the restore file.
2. now, I delete the existing md5.txt file and replace it with a new one, which has fewer hashes than the original one. lets say, original file initially had 100 hashes, in previous session, 20 got cracked. so 80 remaining.
now, I replace it with a file containing 60 hashes.
if I restore the session now:
oclhashcat-plus32.exe --restore --session=MD5
will the restore still work?
will it resume the attack from the previous wordlist position where it left and continue or again start from the beginning of the hash list?
