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.
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
