0% Progress

[Xanadrel]

I left and came back 30mins later and the progress was so slow.

2 things make it slow :
- the hash type used (phpbb3)
- you used -a 1 which is combination mode, so the keyspace is 184389² (if you want to only do a straight wordlist attack use -a 0)

Ever since I haven't been able to start it again.

If you use the same command it should work, except if you have an error message there is no real issue here.

(I am also only trying to crack 1 phpbb hash because I read; ' the more hash's you run, the slower it is' )

That's in theory true for all hash types which include salting in their process.
