For you, the file is supposed to be in john-1.9.0-jumbo-1-win64/run. If
you specified an alternative session name with "--session", that will be
the filename, with the ".rec" suffix added to it.
Why are you looking for that file? Normally, you'd just use
"--restore", or alternatively the combination of "--session=NAME"
initially and "--restore=NAME" later, where "NAME" is a name of your
choice. On "--restore", JtR itself will look for the file in the same
directory where it put it.
Oh, I now recall you had mentioned you use Johnny. I've never used
Johnny for real myself (beyond brief testing), but I suspect it might
override the session name or session file location by default. I hope
someone with Johnny experience will follow-up and let us all know.
