Speed isn’t Everything !

[Hash-IT]

you can also use the "p"ause option for that

Thanks again for your help atom, however over a long cracking period of days, weeks or even months there will be a time when I need to reboot and I haven’t yet been able to restore a session after doing that. This could very well be my lack of knowledge though.

The “Pause” option does work, but as you already know my fear is of an accidental or intentional power off and losing all the progress made over that time.

I do wonder if my theory is correct regarding piped words to hashcat+ ? As they are known and sent in order does hashcat+ know which is that last one tested ? I know this isn’t possible when hashcat+ is reading from a dictionary but I wondered if it was a different case when piped.
