I am not sure if this has been discussed before. However, I was thinking a feature implementation for Crash Recovery Mechanism similar to what is present in JtR would be a great addition to the oclhashcat-plus tool.
Infact, this would make it one of the best programs in the world
Now, I am not sure of the difficulties to implement this mechanism. I am not sure if it is easier to implement on a CPU than on GPU. I believe since in GPU the workload gets distributed between multiple GPU cores, so saving the state would not be as easy as in a CPU.
Anyway, atom will know the best in this respect
