It's not safe in general to restore from some arbitrary progress value.

If you know the restore file that would be much safer:

Code:

Restore.Point....: x/y

You can use the x value with --skip

Of course, the preferred way to doing this would be to use the --restore file

@juiweasley: your cli is wrong, it is simpler than that, see my cli

depends, did you named your session and if not, did you startet by now another cracking task with hashcat?

problem, hashcat names the sesssion per default to hashcat and stores a file called hashcat.restore, without naming your session, these restore file is overwritten any time you start a new cracking task

you could restore any session by simple running

Code:

hashcat --session=hashcat --restore

you can replace hashcat by any sessionname where a [sessionname].restore file exists
