hashcat Forum

Hello there,

Can anyone tell me how to stop getting duplicate entries in my potfile. Everytime I run a different rule or wordlist against a  md5 hash list if the wordlist has the same entry i get double found in pot? Please help much appreciated.

That's not how it is supposed to work. If you have dupe hashes in your hashlist, hashcat will automatically remove the dupes on startup. It will then create a single entry for in the potfile if it cracks it. If you run hashcat again, it will remove all of them on startup before trying to crack it.
