Can 2 separate hashcat sessions write to the same potfile?
Or will that cause a tear in the fabric of the space time continuum?
In Linux, this may come down to how 2 separate processes handle appending data to the same file. With databases, "locks" can occur on objects while they are being written to. Is there a Linux OS equivalent? Would there be a "lock" on the file when one process is appending to the potfile so that the other process has to wait before it can also append?
I found a few references.
