Portable Restore File
#1
hi,

this is regarding the oclhashcat-plus restore file.

Are the restore files portable?

For instance, does the restore file also keep a track of the GPU type used to crack the hashes in the session?

Since there is an Open CL kernel specific for each type of AMD GPU and each attack type. I wanted to know if the same restore file will work when used on a different machine.

On the different machine, I keep the following parameters same as the first machine:

1. Same hash file (file containing the hashes).
2. Same restore file.
3. Same path of oclhashcat-plus (c:\oclhashcat-plus)
4. Same version of oclhashcat-plus

Would it still work?

Another question,

Let's say, I started a cracking session and the machine has 3 GPUs in it.

Now I quit the cracking session and before restoring it again, I add another GPU to the machine.

So, when I restore the session, will it automatically detect a new GPU and resume the cracking session from where it left?

I guess, the kernel (for new GPU) specific to the hash type and attack mode would have to be built at the time of starting the attack.

Please note that the new GPU added is from a different AMD Family than the ones already present in the machine.

Would like to know if the restore session remains intact even if more GPUs are added to the machine in between stopping and starting the session.

Thanks.
