Hi guys, Does anyone know how to, if I interrupted john with ctrl+C, let it resume where it stopped? I accidently stopped it (wrong console...) after about two weeks of running on a 3ghz Xeon - not keen to start over. Googling found only one possibility - a -resume switch, but john tells me it's an unknown option. Thanks -- Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

LOL, chalk this one up to learning. Never stop a password cracker because you don't want the console it's using. If you needed it you could probably BG it and > output to a text.

You must have an old version then, the man page mentions resume. While cracking, you can press any key for status, or Ctrl+C to abort the session, saving point information to a file (~/restore by default). By the way, if you press Ctrl+C twice John will abort immediately with‐ out saving. The point information is also saved every 10 minutes (configurable in the configuration file, ~/john.ini) in case of a crash. To continue an interrupted session, run: john -restore Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-20a-default x86_64
