Order of hashing ?

[RobbieRich]

Does hashcat have a standard order of hashing or is it random starting eveytime you start it ...
Say with the same mask , stopping and starting exactly in the same order or not ?
Many thanks !

Hashcat uses Markov Chains to calculate it's candidates. If I am understand your questions correctly this is what you should be after. Otherwise, no it does not process mask attacks in sequence 1..2...3..4 etc, it chooses the best probable candidate and submits it. So yes, each time hashcat is restarted the order will be altered. Otherwise, you can use --session to --restore from to continue an attack if it was interrupted or cancelled.
