When I run an attack on a large block of hashes, does each successful crack embed the hash and the password in the pot file so that the next time I run an attack on a different data set, the pot file is queried for each hash to determine if it's already been cracked (assuming same hash algorithm of course)? So the longer I use hashcat, the more the pot file learns? Seems like there could be a fairly large pot file assembled for download to skip a bunch of cracking - much like the sharing of dictionary files. Thanks.
