External filters (like AutoStatus or Solar's suggested Status50G) can be used with any cracking mode.

If the same word/username is applicable to another user with *same* salt, it will not be hashed nor counted again. If the same word/username is applicable to another user with a *different* salt, it will be used - and counted - again in Single mode. In terms of AutoStatus this is the same situation as a dupe word in a wordlist. It will be counted again. > 2. is not the same for every hash (due to reason #1) This is irrelevant. It is counted as above. One name can generate 15 candidates and another might generate just one. After those two, 16 guesses are counted. magnum
