(I remade this post so hopefully my old confusing one will be gone soon as I asked a admin to delete it.)
So I am using the latest version of The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali), which is all upto dateand runnin it Nividia Drivers.
I have my password file which is 1TB and .hccap file stored on an external USB 4TB drive
The command I use is hashcat -w 3 -m 2500 out.hccap.hccap zyzyzyzy-abababab.txt
When I am in the external HD drives directory
/media/root/Zim
The hashcat command then starts and the command line returned is :
Generating dictionary stats for zyzyzyzy-abababab.txt: 154010289600 bytes (14.92%), 17112254400 words,
Until it reaches 100% where It then starts cracking.

When I hit the C key it quits and saves the data.
I goto /root/.hascat and copy it, then saving it to an external folder on my external HD.
Then I type in hashcat --resume
and it goes back to cracking.
I always repeat the same procedure again and again, but sometimes it goes straight back to

From 0% even if I delete the .hascat folder and replace it with a backup that works.
Because it a 1TB file this can take hours and I dont think it resumes from where it left off.
It just leaves me back to cracking from 0% which is annoying as I need 6 days to crack my WPA key.
I have noticed since I un-installed hascat 2
and installed hashcat 3, where it was DL to my eternal drive.
Hashcat runs from a folder in usr/local/bin and not the file on my Hashcat-3.00 folder on my external drive.
So can any one help me please or will have to just split my password file down in to chunks that will take 8 hours for each one.
Thanks.
