track the cracking?

[philsmd]

in theory you could just count the lines in your hashcat.potfile for instance every hour or every week and make statistics out of this. As far as I know it's not directly logged in the hashcat.log file because otherwise that file could grow way too much when cracking millions of hashes.

--status --status-timer (and/or --machine-readable / --status-json) could also help if you want to get the data in these specific/different formats
