Why -r 1:ff does not work as expected? #264

Closed xiongnuren closed 9 months ago

xiongnuren commented 11 months ago

I'm trying to understand how -r works by testing -r 1:ff but the search doesn't stop on ff. ./keyhunt -m address -f tests/1to32.txt -r 1:ff

Anyone can give a hint?

Because that range is very small compared with the defaul N value (2^32) for address the range should be 2^32 per thread

try to reduce N to at least 2^24, but not less than 1024

i mean the next command.

./keyhunt -m address -f tests/1to32.txt -r 1:1000001 -n 0x1000000 

do you want less ?

./keyhunt -m address -f tests/1to32.txt -r 1:10001 -n 0x10000
