Continue cracking on success?
#1
Is it possible not to stop cracking current hash when 1 password cracked success? It is usefull when I know only part of hash. For example, there is more 5100. With this example its easy to find anypart of hash. I know only first 8 symbols, hashed with MD5.

Known part of MD5: 8743b520************************

First cracked password is 'hashcat'.
md5('hashcat') => 8743b52063cd84097a65d1633f5c74f5

But there are more valid values.
md5('vcawddr5') => 8743b5203fc8df9d49ca63cb3d6e3b82

And more...

But process stops after first success. Is is possible to continue cracking while input wordlist/generagion is not empty? Thanks.

this makes no sense with your example, because -m 5100 checks for 16 hex characters (or 8 bytes).

... but the general answer would be to just use
Code:
--keep-guessing

I modified it for first 8 hex characters. Thank you, working well with this option!
