Subject: Re: MPI with incremental mode working fine?
Hi again,
I come back with an example that just happened right now with incremental and MPI x8.
...
superpassword80 (abc@....xom)
superpassword09 (celine@....com)
alphonce2012 (fonce@....com)
superpassword09 (abc@....xom)
superpassword09 (celine@....com)
85azzJoa (pepe@....com)
So the first two passwords were found with an interval of 0.5 second. The third one came after about 20 seconds. The next two others which are similar to the two first one came after 1 minute... then nothing else... john.pot just get filled 5 minutes later.
If MPI is not working with incremental mode, why is the second alphonce2012 missing?? Umh... unless I'm missing the point that john.pot is not the right place where MPI processes share their work to avoid duplicated passwords to pop-up...
(john.pot is filled every 20 minutes)
