[Feature request] Display progress during operation without USR1 #16

Closed jbruchon closed 7 years ago

jbruchon commented 7 years ago

It would be nice to have a command option to show the progress while brute forcing. I'm thinking of something like this, refreshed once per second:

Tried 123 of 33333, last: 'password1234'

Did you read the documentation?

Print progress info:

pkill -USR1 -f bruteforce-luks

Did you read the documentation?

Yes, and you'll note that my request is for a different feature from what you've suggested. I am not asking for the ability to show progress by sending an external signal to the program. I want the program to show its progress regularly without needing to create and manage an extra process that kicks it every X intervals.

I added a "-v n" option to print progress info every n seconds in the master branch (commit 6ee8f36f4997d05aa64239afd5961fb3a677a224).

Thank you!
