Why the .pot?
#1
Hi all. What's the advantage of the .pot file? Why not only save the password instead of the HashTongueassword or Hash:SaltTongueassword. It would be easier to automate. You copy/rename the password file (so that when you are cracking you are not modifying the password file) and point Hashcat programs to use the copied file as a dictionary. This way you don't need elaborate "de-poting" and can loop an attack with rules until it does not find any new cracks.
