hashcat Forum

Hi!

I'm trying to create a Python script to manage Hashcat.

My script launches Hashcat (with subprocess.Popen) from another directory in Windows.
So something like that :
C:/hashcat/hashcat64.exe --session "foo" -m 0 --potfile-path "foo.pot" -o result.txt hashes.txt...

I can't change restore file path with Hashcat so it stays in Hashcat directory (C:\hashcat\).

The Hashcat status just before I kill the process :

Code:
Session.Name...: foo

Status.........: Running

Input.Mode.....: Mask (?a?a?a?a?a) [5]

Hash.Target....: File (hashes.txt)

[b]Restore.Point..: 30127058/81450625 (36.99%)[/b]

I try to relaunch it with :
C:/hashcat/hashcat64.exe --session "foo" --restore

and the restore point jump from 36.99% to 23.69%:

Code:
[b]INFO: Changing current working directory to the path found within the .restore file: 'C:\foo\bar\'[/b]

Someone have an explanation why I can't restore in the same point?
And why I can't change restore file path?

Thank you

This has been answered before. The reason for it jumping back is because of the way hashcat works internally. It was the last point where it could start from.

Search the forum and wiki if you want more details.

Ok thanks, so I can't do anything to improve that?
I read a lot about Hashcat but I've never found anything about it before. Could you give me some links?
