potfile, remove FAQ clarification
#3
Overall, if I understand correctly, it sounds like the main benefit of leaving the potfile, if using --remove and you already have a backup of your original hash list, is preventing a loss of progress in the event of "a rig crash or power failure etc comes before the regular update of the updated/"removed" hashes list".

This does lead to the question of the session file. Do you know if that is updated before or after the "removed" hashes list?

Quote:and not removing duplicate hashes (which hashcat always does automatically at startup).

Did not know this. Nice bit info to have.
