Resuming a cancelled password recovery ?

[cxzstuff]

If one cancels the recovery, bkcrack now starts from the beginning. It would be nice if recovery could be resumed...

You are right, thank you for the suggestion. I will work on it.

Got a password, correct but not correct. How about continuing the recovery even if a password is found?
Has the correct one the same length?

Not necessarily.

How about continuing the recovery even if a password is found?

I will also work on that, it was requested yesterday in #34.

Pkcrack has this possibility, or its tool findkey. Haven't tested it.
findkey key0 key1 key2 pwdlen initvalue

It is now possible to resume an interrupted password recovery.

Example, running this command:

bkcrack -k c4490e28 b414a23d 91404b31 --bruteforce ?a --length 12

and hitting Ctrl+C will print an option to resume the password recovery:

[15:10:35] Recovering password
length 12...
33.7 % (1295 / 3844) 
Operation interrupted by user.
You may resume the password recovery with the option: --continue-recovery 4b7342303030
[15:10:36] Could not recover password

Then, adding the printed option to the command will resume where it was stopped:

bkcrack -k c4490e28 b414a23d 91404b31 --bruteforce ?a --length 12 --continue-recovery 4b7342303030
