Cracked Passwords when using Brain
#5
That makes sense. Thanks. Although, I am still missing something. I am trying to unveil the potential in using brain.

My goal is to avoid duplicate candidates when running a rule against a hash file. If I run best64.rule, it takes about 22 hours the first time (16800 hash). The second time it only runs a few seconds. I now realize I can't change the hash file, but I took some of the rules from best64 and placed them in another file. When I run the rule with my new rule, it now takes the full time to process.

Apparently my thinking is wrong, but I thought that it would avoid duplicate candidates.

With that in mind, it looks like the only benefit I am getting out of brain is that it memorizes the attack position, which I could do with --restore, right?

I know there has to be a lot more here that I am not seeing.

Thanks again for your response.
